Shame (2011 Steve McQueen)

Populated by the longest takes I've seen in a long while (one, where the couple walk down the street talking, was Miracle of Morgan's Creek), one of which - a dinner date - is really funny thanks to waiter Robert Montano. Extraordinary performances from Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan, whose face while she performs New York New York is just extraordinary. This is the film that reawoke her professionally,

Shot by Sean Bobbitt (in Panavision) and edited by Joe Walker.
