<p>The British director Steve McQueen is an eccentric guy whose mind leads him to unusual places, and the Irish actor Michael Fassbender is a true-believer who seems willing to follow him wherever it goes: for their last collaboration, Hunger (2008), Fassbender dropped nearly 40 pounds to play a hunger striker, and for this one, an NC-17 drama about a sex addict, he spends much of the film fully naked and engaged in a wide variety of sexual activities. During a recent interview, McQueen told me that he and Abi Morgan penned the script after discovering how widely prevalent sex addiction is -- he likened it to AIDS in the eighties, in the sense that it is a real affliction that is all around us but that few of us are aware of or choose to acknowledge -- with the goal of enlightening others about it, as well. The film, which was shot over just 25 days in New York on a budget of only $5.5 million, chronicles the lives of and relationship between Brandon (Fassbender), a single, handsome, successful 30-something New Yorker who is secretly a sex addict, and Sissy (Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan), his emotionally-unstable younger sister who moves in with him when she has nowhere else to go. Brandon, we soon learn, constantly pursues orgasms from any and every available source -- magazines, websites, and online chatrooms; women and men; coworkers, strangers, prostitutes, and maybe, it is hinted, even his sister -- but seems to derive no pleasure from them at all. Instead, like the Orthodox man at the end of Steven Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience (2009) who orgasms from merely being touched, he is just desperately seeking a connection, but, tragically, can't stop himself from pushing away anyone who offers him one. The film's ending is haunting.</p>
