Michael Fassbender had not just one but two films screening at this year’s Venice International Film Festival: David Cronenberg’s A Dangerous Method in which he plays Carl Jung to Viggo Mortensen’s Sigmund Freud, and Shame from writer/director Steve McQueen (Fassbender also starred in McQueen’s Hunger). Shame finds Fassbender starring as a 30-something sex addict, delivering a performance the London Evening Standard says shows Fassbender’s “command of the screen is total.” And The Hollywood Reporter says of his performances in A Dangerous Method and Shame: “As a filmgoer, the experience was a one-two punch of forceful acting and thoughtful provocation.”
