Finally! After hearing about this film and its awards and reading the excellent reviews for months, we finally have a trailer for Steve McQueen's Shame starring Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan!

Shame is the story of jaded, wounded New Yorker Brandon whose favorite brand of self-medication is sex. (I don't know how he manages to hold down a job, but there are millions of high functioning addicts out there.) His barely controlled world is put into disarray with the arrival of his equally damaged younger sister, Sissy (Mulligan) who seeks refuge in her brother's apartment.

A lot of the buzz surrounding this film has to do with the fact that Fassbender is fully naked throughout a lot of it, although only explicitly so for a few seconds. It would be a shame (sorry, no pun intended) if that were the only reason anyone went to see it, since by all accounts it's a deeply moving, well written, directed and acted bit of film. I can't wait! Shame opens in NY & LA on December 2nd and will get a wider release in January. (Keep an eye on the art-houses willing to show an NC-17 rated film.)
