Shame
2011, English. Directed by Steve McQueen.
A compelling and timely examination of the nature of need, how we live our lives and the experiences that shape us.
Brandon, a thirty-something man living in New York, eludes intimacy with women but feeds his deepest desires with a compulsive addiction to sex. 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.
