Michael Fassbender and his new movie Shame have been causing quite a stir at the Venice Film Festival, in a good way, as he went on to pick up the Best Actor award at the festival.
Shame sees Fassbender reunite with Hunger director Steve McQueen in their second movie project together – and if it anywhere near as classy as their previous work it will be a huge success.
Brandon (Fassbender) is a 30-something man living in New York who is unable to manage his sex life. After his wayward younger sister (Mulligan) moves into his apartment, Brandon’s world spirals out of control.
Shame is a compelling and timely examination of the nature of need, how we live our lives and the experiences that shape us.
Carey Mulligan and James Badge Dale are also on the cast list as this promises to be one of the early must see movies of 2012.
