Shame
Drama102 min
Brandon (Michael Fassbender) is a thirty-something New Yorker who keeps intimacy at a distance while feeding a compulsive addiction to sex. His days are built around routine, privacy, and detachment until his younger sister Sissy (Carey Mulligan) arrives to stay in his apartment. Her presence stirs bitter memories of their shared past and begins to unsettle the controlled life Brandon has constructed. Directed by Steve McQueen, the film keeps its focus on the uneasy overlap between Brandon’s hidden habits and a sibling relationship neither of them can neatly contain.
