Not so long ago it was announced that for his follow-up to the excellent Hunger (review) English director Steve McQueen would be re-teaming with Michael Fassbender for a relationship drama titled Shame.

There was little more to go on when the project was first announced but Collider has uncovered a few more details about the plot which doesn’t really give us much more than what we already knew, and a beautiful one sheet.

The official synopsis, still vague, reads:

Brandon is a 30-something man living in New York who is unable to manage his sex life. After his wayward younger sister moves into his apartment, Brandon’s world spirals out of control.

From director Steve McQueen (Hunger), Shame is a compelling and timely examination of the nature of need, how we live our lives and the experiences that shape us.

I’m much more intrigued by this one-sheet which is a little mysterious and a touch creepy. I can’t wait to see some video from the film – Shame is high on my list of titles to see in 2011.
