Shame

Good stuff

A raw, confrontational drama that tackles sexual violence and trauma with unflinching intensity, powerful in its performances but often hard to watch due to its stark, uncompromising tone.

When you delve into the history of Australian cinema, there’s so much to explore that really doesn’t have the recognition it deserves.

Steve Jodrll’s overlooked thriller ‘Shame’ taps into that environment that works so well in Australian films, the tense, small town culture where hostility pours out of every alleyway. The film is pretty uncompromising and still feels unsettling to this day.

The release by the always great Unbrella, isn’t the most lavish but contains interviews, archive material and context to the film that helps shine a light on a film that’s defiantly worth discovering.

Great little film, slightly slow in places but overall worth a watch!

A very strong release with a stylish look, an engaging script, and a solid overall presentation. The transfer looks clean while still keeping the original character of the film intact. The bonus features add nice value and make this feel like a well-rounded collector’s edition.
