Director Steve McQueen on Michael Fassbender's Shame
Acclaimed visual artist (and tough guy namesake) Steve McQueen made an astonishing feature film debut with 2008's uncompromising prison piece Hunger, a movie that also drew attention to a daring performance from its emerging star, Michael Fassbender. This week, the pair reunite for their second collaboration, Shame, in which Fassbender plays Brandon Sullivan, a New York yuppie trapped in an emotionally crippling labyrinth of sex addiction. The movie, which co-stars Carey Mulligan as Brandon's wayward sister Sissy, finds McQueen trading one form of incarceration for another -- and has placed Fassbender squarely in the acting race for Oscar prognosticators. We had the opportunity to chat with the ever-lively director in Los Angeles recently, where he shared some thoughts on the film.

Ryan Gosling On Drive: This Is My Superhero Movie
In Drive, director Nicolas Winding Refn's (Pusher, Bronson, Valhalla Rising) neo-noir thriller in theaters this week, Ryan Gosling plays an enigmatic outsider known only as "The Driver," a Hollywood stunt jockey who moonlights as a getaway wheel man for a local crime boss. Co-starring Carey Mulligan and Albert Brooks, the film is a genre piece that evokes a long-gone era of car movies, with obvious antecedents like Walter Hill's The Driver and William Friedkin's To Live and Die in L.A. mixed with the dirty neon of a little-seen modern Los Angeles (Thom Anderson would approve) and set to a pulsing electronic score from Cliff Martinez and Johnny Jewel. We met with Gosling -- who looked like he'd just stepped straight off the electric pastel poster for his movie -- for a chat about Drive and working with Refn.
