Shame

[meth head]

The trailer for Steve McQueen‘s Shame has gone online. For those unfamiliar with the movie, Michael Fassbender plays Brendan, a sex addict whose tightly-constructed world is slowly spiraling out of control and the situation becomes exacerbated when his screw-up sister (Carey Mulligan) intrudes on his life. Fox Searchlight isn’t running from the NC-17 rating and they’re using it to sell the film as something for mature adults, not something controversial or designed to titillate (one of the film’s greatest triumphs is that despite the graphic and frequent sex, none of it is sexy). The trailer does a fine job of showing how Brendan’s life begins to break apart, although the closing image is a little too reassuring.

Looks interesting. Enjoy your signature even more. Couldn't agree more Depps portrayal of WW was horrendous, as was the movie itself. Gene Wilder is Wonka and that classic should have never been touched.

Mcqueen brought out Fassbenders best in Hunger so I'll be shocked if this performance doesn't live up to the hype its receiving. If you haven't seen Hunger you need to do so. One of my favorite films the year it was released.
