shame (2011 cast)

This time, the woman initiates flirting, but Brandon is hesitant. When his younger sister temporarily moves into his apartment, stirring up bitter memories of their shared painful past, Brandon's life, like his fragile mind, gets out of control. He attacks her and accuses her of spying on him. Fantastic leading performance, beautiful cinematography (there's something special in that color palette) and great direction. The film is about a sex addict, and while McQueen and Morgan have taken the time to truly understand addiction, even more impressive are the many subtle shades of shame and their reverberations across the life of the film’s protagonist. A sterile set of poses in supremely crafted shots that never reveal any psychology. work in progress. Demanding but deeply rewarding, Shame is an unforgettable piece, deliberate in its pacing and casual in its arc, it demonstrates an artistic flourish from McQueen that would seem likely to drift away as he currently finds himself in renowned fame, let us hope he remains true to his roots.Bullshit from the first frame: a film that uses "sex addiction" to tell a universal story of addiction, draining any specificity in order to create an abstract world where nothing feels lived in. After having a casual and pleasant dinner at a local restaurant, in spite of the young awkward waiter (Robert Montano) interrupting them several times, Brandon resists making a move on Marianne. maybe i'll be addicted to sex or some weird…British director Steve McQueen’s first feature was 2008’s gut-wrenching Hunger. She stands up, ready to exit the train at an approaching station.

It is odd coming out of a film where you feel so little, normally they aim to heighten emotions not numb them, but it is crucial in understanding the character and the world he inhabits for…Arguably, Shame finds director Steve McQueen at its peak, a sophomore opus that blends his arthouse sensibilities with commercial accessibility, a striking balance that never favours the latter over the former, neither condescending nor insulting, bolstered by a performance by Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan that never ceases to be striking, constantly soulful in their existence and brimming with stimulation, a bond between siblings that may leave others discomforted, but for others provoked, essential to their characterisation and compelling in their subtleties.

Brandon laughs and repeats the suggestion. As the train slows, Brandon does not take his eyes off her.

When they reach the subway, they go home separately. After he leaves, the boyfriend follows and brutally beats him. On the subway, Brandon sees the woman with the engagement ring again. The film is as utterly empty as Brandon's own existence and whilst that may sound like a flaw it really isn't. Shame, then, is the perfect title not only as an allusion to the guilt of sex addiction, but to the shame of the addict’s profound loneliness and inability to truly connect with others.Michael Fassbender stars as Brandon, an Irish New Yorker caught in a…The film is profoundly sad. Brandon rushes into the bathroom to jerk off at work and McQueen shoots it from a bird's eye view, but this cuts us off from his face but also his body, so what is to be read by this gesture is only felt in the camera.

Brandon goes to a bar and propositions a woman, describing explicitly what he would do to her. Shame Critics Consensus Boasting stellar performances by Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan, Shame is a powerful plunge into the mania of addiction affliction. i think the dramatic songs in the threesome and the gay bar scene did it justicei like this film bc i really relate to brandon. i have serious issues about my non-existent sex life. It brilliantly depicts what is the true effect of addiction. McQueen puts you in his world and gets under the skin of Brandon's hollow life and ambiguous family backstory.
