Shame Us Trailer 2 Carey Mulligan Does New York New York

‘Shame’ US Trailer #2 - Carey Mulligan Does “New York, New York”

There’s not much in the way of actual new footage in the trailer, but it’s worth watching just to hear Mulligan’s heartbreaking version of the usually cheery number. As a side note, this should prove even to those who’ve yet to catch Shame that Mulligan’s got pipes. Are you watching, Coen Bros.? You’d be crazy not to give her a chance to show them off in Inside Llewyn Davis.

In his second collaboration with McQueen (after 2008’s Hunger), Fassbender plays a sex-addicted New Yorker who finds his orderly life disrupted by the arrival of his lively but troubled younger sister (Mulligan). Fassbender is brilliant as always, but Mulligan deserves equal praise. She’s played vulnerable tons of times, but never quite like this, and her chemistry with Fassbender is downright searing.

Shame hits U.S. theaters December 2. Head to Apple to see this trailer in HD.

Synopsis:

Brandon (Michael Fassbender) is a New Yorker who shuns intimacy with women but feeds his desires with a compulsive addiction to sex. When his wayward younger sister (Carey Mulligan) moves into his apartment stirring memories of their shared painful past, Brandon’s insular life spirals out of control.
