A Tame Approach
One
of the pleasures of watching a David Cronenberg film is the guarantee that
something nasty will happen. The violence in his films lurks beneath the

Muted Emotions
As Shame presents it, sex addiction prevents the addict from having meaningful contact with another person. All conversations are perfunctory. In fact, all human contact is superficial. All business success is meaningless because everything comes down to this: How will I get laid next? How will that act keep everything at arm’s length? Sounds great, right?
