Michael Fassbender

...talks Shame with Steve McQueen

We're getting a bit ahead of ourselves on this one but on the second weekend of 2012, a strong contender for the year's finest film is being released.

The devastating drama Shame casts Michael Fassbender as Brandon, a man struggling with sex addiction. It's a powerful film that tackles a problematic subject. It's therefore no surprise that the last time Fassbender teamed up with director Steve McQueen, it was for Hunger, a harrowing look at the IRA hunger strike.

We sat down with the pair of them to discuss their Oscar-tipped film. Oh and it's SFW. Honest.

Shame is out now
