Poster...

Laanat tere mou peh!

Translation: You are my friend.

Melodramatic and tonally all over the place. Lots of gratuitous shots of Fassbender's schlong and a really really long threesome (unnecessary, but beautifully shot; also hilariously reminiscent of the quality stuff on streamsex.com)

Missing nuance and structural depth, SHAME is a massive detour from HUNGER, but the hyperbole will drown out such heretical evaluations. Poor

THR: Steve, you have some extraordinarily difficult themes in Shame, plus full nudity. How do you get the trust of the actors to do that?
McQueen: They're actors. They use their bodies to act, like dancers. That's what they have to do. If I was making the movie in 1951 as opposed to 2011, [Michael Fassbender's character would] be wearing pajamas, but a lot of people don't wear pajamas, so he walks around in the apartment naked, drinks a glass of water, goes to the bathroom, has a shower. It's so obvious. It's not a shocker, is it?

THR: Well, the film is quite shocking, isn't it?
McQueen: Not particularly. We all have sex, we all see what Michael and Carey [Mulligan] have, as far as being naked. Maybe because it's onscreen it's shocking, but that's maybe because it hasn't been portrayed on screen. What's unfamiliar, at least to me, is someone with a gun shooting someone in the head. I think we made a film that was responsible. I don't care -- NC-17? Brilliant! Fantastic! Bring it on! I take full responsibility for it. I think most violent films are not responsible, they are completely opposite of responsible. Film should reflect real life. Otherwise, what's the point? Just make superhero movies all the time.

THR: So what bothers you on the screen?
McQueen: A crappy movie.

I'm definitely getting this on HD/KFF.
