‘Shame’ Red-Band Trailer: Sex And The Subway

Hit the break for a sexually-charged train ride that is like the bastard son of ideas from Alfred Hitchcock and Darren Aronofsky.

This originally premiered on Facebook. You can see PG-rated trailers here and here.

I like this trailer a lot; the look on Michael Fassbender’s face as he stares down a woman on the subway is almost frightening, and so charged with energy. And that little reveal at the end of the trailer is actually quite big in the context of the scene, and makes me eager to see how this plays out in the full film.

Brandon (Michael Fassbender) is a New Yorker who shuns intimacy with women but feeds his desires with a compulsive addiction to sex. When his wayward younger sister (Carey Mulligan) moves into his apartment stirring memories of their shared painful past, Brandon’s insular life spirals out of control.
