Shame
You may have heard that Shame is a movie about sex. It's really not. It's a movie about addiction.
The movie is excruciatingly slow-paced. Director Steve McQueen lingers on scenes until they reach, and surpass, emotional breaking point. When Sissy sings the world's most melancholy cover of "New York, New York," at the nightclub at the top of the Standard Hotel, which is called the Boom Boom Room, McQueen gives us the whole song. It's punishing.
Driven by a brilliant, ferocious performance by Michael Fassbender, Shame is a real walk on the wild side, a scorching look at a case of sexual addiction that’s as all-encompassing as a craving for drugs.
Strong stuff from bold director Steve McQueen and the extraordinary Michael Fassbender.
