Great drama for anyone who likes the messy emotions of human nature and who isn't looking for some quick resolve.

Shame (La honte) (DVD)
Not an easy experience to view this film, but well worth it for the quality of the acting, the vision of the director, the atmosphere and the extraordinary camera work. Michael Fassbender is mesmerizing in a bleak, difficult and unsympathetic role. Carey Mulligan is excellent as always, vulnerable, unsure of herself and a little desperate.
The acting holds your attention, but it is the direction and the camera, which spares nothing from view, that makes it all work so effectively.

if you are a fan of emotional intensity, introspection, human psychology, and CINEMA ......
and you have a developed sense of empathy toward your fellow human beings ....
you will not be disappointed by the experience you will have watching this FILM.
it is not a particularly pleasant experience, but it is fascinating, and rewarding, in its own way ...... and at the same time it is gloriously beautiful filmmaking ...... i've seen it only once, and it almost struck me as a silent film ....... as it seems we spend a lot of time immersed in watching 'brandon' think and act. and yet there is plenty of 'dialogue', and the sound design is subtle and quite powerful .... this includes the way the score is mixed within the overall soundtrack .....
i now want to see mcqueen's film 'hunger'
well done. to ALL involved in making this film.
exceptionally courageous performances by fassbender and mulligan
I can't wait for McQueen's next feature ... 'twelve years a slave' (2013)

Not sure what to think...
I guess it was a good movie. Not really shocking or disturbing. It's all in how you view the main character. I felt nothing but contempt for Brandon. Read more

Deep. Powerful. Artistic
Certainly this is a disturbing movie, and one that makes you reflect on it to fully understand. I must acknowledge still being baffled by many emotions that the characters... Read more
