Steve McQueen and Michael Fassbender talk desire, compulsion, and silence. Read the full description.

Shameposter_small It's hardly surprising that while talking about SHAME,a film  that deals frankly and boldly with sex, that star Michael Fassbinder should invoke both Freud and Jung, the latter he portrays in another film this year, A DANGEROUS METHOD. The conversation was short, but covered why director Steve McQueen considers silence so honest, Fassbender's consideration of the complexity of sex, and why the film was set in America, not the UK.
