Out of Frame: Shame

Addictions are time-consuming disorders. There’s the time spent finding the object(s) of your addiction, the time spent actually engaging in them, the time spent dealing with the highs and lows, and the time required to cover up and compensate for all of those activities in your straight life. Of course, life in general can be hard enough to keep everything balanced; add in an addiction, and there’s that many more balls to keep in the air. Steve McQueen’s new film, Shame, shows what happens when they all come crashing down.
