Coetzee's novel "Shame" is a very readable book, but it turned out to be very dull when made into a movie. If you take away the cultural background of the post-colonial era, it is difficult to understand what the film is about. I don't agree with those who put money on the movie "Shame" because it was so poorly done. I'm even questioning the need for this movie to exist.
Especially the male protagonist, who plays Lurie has neither the demeanor of a university professor, nor the wisdom and composure of an old man. It's so unnatural!
I suggest that you don't watch this movie, go read the original book, that's a good thing!
