Shame is a movie about sex. A movie about Brandon (Michael Fassbender) and sex. Not love, not intimacy, not romance... sex.
So as you'd expect, the world's first trailer for the **Hunger **director's second film (both with Fassbender starring) is pretty, well, sexual, slapping you with images of Fassbender writhing, kissing, charming and generally being a degenerate human being.
We also see glimpses of Brandon's sister, Cissy (Mulligan), whose sudden arrival (and indefinite stay) ruins his perfectly constructed life, but it's definitely the Fassbender show, pure and simple.
Conjuring up an atmospheric world of meaningless sex, addiction and dependency, it's pretty moving stuff from McQueen and Fassbender, and it only makes us want to watch the film even more.
Funny that, it being a trailer an' all, but there you go: they've got us hooked, good and proper.
**Shame **(no pun intended) we're going to have to wait until January 12 next year before we can see it in the cinema.
