One of the more controversial films coming up, trying to find its way amongst the prestige pictures, is Shame. Directed by Steve McQueen, and carrying an NC-17 rating, it features Michael Fassbender as a sex addict.
Plot Summary: Brandon (Michael Fassbender) is a New Yorker who shuns intimacy with women but feeds his desires with a compulsive addiction to sex. When his wayward younger sister (Carey Mulligan) moves into his apartment stirring memories of their shared painful past, Brandon’s insular life spirals out of control.
