Does anyone think this is a dystopian work?


I do. I would go out and say Shame is a dystopian work that precedes a lot of other dystopian works whether it is The Long Walk by Stephen King, The Road by Cormac McCarthy and its subsequent film adaptation, The Hunger Games trilogy, and The Walking Dead TV series. This film seems to be ahead of its time when you combine it with those other works of fiction and the screen.

I watched Shame last night and even read the screenplay. What a great movie!


Cast Away...It's like Forrest Gump, but on an island.
