Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

shame (2011) i saw this movie earlier this week, so i’ve had a few days to mull it over, and i’m still not sure what to say about it. is it the sex movie that’s not at all about sex? absolutely. i went into the movie prepared for that; however, i wasn’t ready for how utterly sad and hopeless this movie made me feel. shame is full of brazen, graphic nudity and sexual content, but all of that just makes the subtle nuances of fassbender’s performance (one of the best of 2011) all the more poignant and moving. 4/5
