Brandon’s whole life revolves around finding the next sexual kick. But his existence-defining addiction is considerably disrupted when his younger sister Sissy moves in with him. Steve McQueen’s portrait of sexual addiction isn’t pulling any punches and comes without psychological explanations. This precise character study is embedded in a visual concept that brings out Manhattan’s modernity with cool colors and shows Brandon’s addiction as a both grotesque and logical offspring of this individualistic zeitgeist.
