Sex Addiction And The Shame DVD

By Raymond Campbell


When it comes to talking about sex addiction, it can often be a difficult topic. While this is the case, the Shame DVD can often help introduce the topic in a non-threatening way. Still, it is often good to be cautious before suggesting someone is suffering from sex addiction.

For the film primarily deals with a sex addict and overwhelming urges associated with this type of addiction. The first ten minutes of the film introduces the addict, the addiction and family relationships. While this is the case, these introductions are made using little dialogue though leaving a lot to the imagination of the audience.

Most communication is expressed through gestures and facial expressions. While there is some dialogue, there is also great cinematography and editing which take a lot of credit for bringing the story and plot to life. As a result, when it comes to reviews, there is a mixture of good and bad.

It is most likely this lack of dialogue which resulted in a number of critics suggesting the film was the worse of 2011. For, while being Steve McQueen's second as a director, most feel it is nowhere as good as the first. The first being a film called Hunger. In that film, an Irish man goes on a hunger strike during an uprising in 1981.

Once the man's sister comes and stays at the character's home on an indefinite basis, there are sudden interruptions to the addiction which has been effecting the man for years. As such, when the lifestyle of the sister begins to interfere, the addict has to take drastic measures to meet the insatiable desires associated with this type of addiction.

When engaged with friends and loved ones, the character has no problem when it comes social interaction. Although, when left alone, the man immediately develops a constant craving for sex. In fact, at different intervals of the film, orgasm is often the only thing on the character's mind whether at home or work.

When at work, the character often drifts off daydreaming about co-workers or others from various pornographic websites. As a result, the addiction becomes an issue which is less than private. For, by viewing these sites online at work, and the sister overhearing phone calls at home, the addiction eventually becomes clear to others.

As the beginning of the film shows the man naked covered up with a sheet, breathing intensely, it appears to most audiences that the character knows there is a problem. While, it may appear as though the man is preparing for a long day at work, there is mostly one thing and one thing on the man's mind, and that is For, that appears to be the one thing that at the time interferes with all aspects of life.

Once the sex addiction is revealed, there are many points in the film which equate the need for sex as being equal to that of a junkie in need of a fix. For, the character's sex addiction begins to interfere with all areas of life. Whether that be the daydreams and fantasies at work, financial issues, or the difficult relationship with the sister which continues to unravel throughout the film. .
