Our Skin Skout has already reported that Shame, starring Michael Fassbender as a Manhattanite sex addict, is absolutely bursting at the seams with nudity. Up-and-comers Mari-Ange Ramirez,Charisse Bellante, Nicole Beharie and Amy Hargreaves all bare boobs as Fassbender's one-night stands, and Carey Mulligan makes her full-frontal debut as Fassbender's estranged sister, an act she said was surprisingly easy-
"I wasn't uncomfortable being naked. For other roles, it may be inappropriate, but for this, I felt like it was right for the part," she told the LA Times this weekend. "It was a very small set and a very small crew, so it didn't feel like I was doing it in front of that many people. And Michael is so engaging when you act with him ... I felt like I was just in the room with him."
So when the prudes over at the MPAA slapped an NC-17 rating on this bad boy, it surprised...well, no one, actually. The MPAA is notorious for its double standards for violence (Graphic torture? R) and nudity (Cunnilingus? NC-17), and director Steve McQueen sold the distribution rights to his film with the stipulation that the winner could not cut a single frame, no matter what the rating. So distributor Fox Searchlight is still going full speed ahead with Shame's December 2, 2011 release date, despite restrictions on the marketing of NC-17 films.
Could Shame be heralding a revival of racy, adults-only dramas (think Last Tango in Paris) skinfiltrating a theater near you? Skin Central says the PG-13's reign of non-nude terror has gone on long enough- long live the NC-17!
