Fox Searchlight have released the second domestic trailer for the Steve Mcqueen-directed, NC-17 rated, Shame, which stars Michael Fassbender as a 30-something sex addict living in New York City.

Here’s the official synopsis of the film:

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.

Check out the trailer below:

This particular trailer features a magnificent rendition of Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York” as sung in the film by Carey Mulligan. Having already seen Shame, we can say that the trailer magnificently captures the film in all its many facets. It is a disturbing, but ultimately rewarding, character study.

Shame is set for a December 2, 2011 release. What did you think of the trailer?
