SHAmE<br />
Michael Fassbender bares<br />
both body and soul in director<br />
Steve McQueen’s drama about<br />
a sex-addicted New York<br />
executive (Fassbender) whose<br />
sister (Carey Mulligan) comes<br />
to stay with him and exposes<br />
the dark corners of his carnal<br />
activities. Fassbender won<br />
the best acting prize at this<br />
year’s Venice Film Festival<br />
for his brave — he does fullfrontal<br />
nudity — and candid<br />
portrayal of a man emotionally<br />
disconnected from the world.<br />
