Shame (2011)
10/10
here is what counts
22 April 2012
In a age when you can satiate yourself sexually so easily, it is totally incorrect to conceive of this film as being about sex. A patron of internet porn, I was startled to find that I was completely disinterested in the sexual content. Familiarity breeds contempt. This movie is about sibling love. About two damaged souls that really need each other to survive. It is really quite elemental. Like Lost In Translation is. Everybody is brilliant. The girl on the subway.... will forever torture me. The magnificence of this film is the twice told story of the girl on the subway. This was the best film I have seen in many years.

Incredible. Some siblings are not rivalrous. Some share a common experience. I hope my kid sister knows how much I love her.
