	Shame
		This film features Bergman veterans Von Sydow and Ullmann as ordinary people who are turned into refugees by a ferocious war in which they get caught.
		The film presents a harrowing landscape of hell on earth that ends in a climax that will inevitably remind you of "Titanic", although Bergman did it first.
		This is one of the key films of the decade, and still an unsettling and lasting experience.

	Scarface: The Shame of the Nation (1932)
		The controversial film was made by versatile producer/director Howard Hawks in 1930, but its release was delayed for two years due to his and co-producer Howard Hughes' squabbles with industry censors over its sensationalism and glorification of the gangster menace.
		Therefore, this tough, pioneering film could not claim to be at the forefront of the gangster talking film craze in the early 30s.
		Due to squabbles over the film's release and the hue and cry over its depiction of the world of gangsterism, the film ultimately did poorly at the box office (it was banned in several states, and showings were delayed over a year in Chicago) and was withdrawn from circulation by Howard Hughes.

	FilmJerk.com - Film Review: A Dirty Shame (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		“Shame” is a carnal freak show, with Waters as the carnie daring audiences to come on in and have a look at the insanity.
		“Shame” doesn’t lend itself easily to review due to the high volume of adult situations and terms on display here (some of which are subliminally inserted into the frame by Waters).
		“Shame” ends so audaciously that I can only imagine that some action directors will be green with envy, but it caps this bizarre and uproarious film precisely, which is a major achievement when you take into account the madcap action of the previous 85 minutes.

		John Waters's A Dirty Shame, which had its world premiere at Toronto and opens here this week, is a nonstop raunchfest with a surreal premise and a provocative agenda.
		Ullman, whose daughter (Selma Blair) is already famous in the local biker bars for her "criminally enlarged" boobs, becomes a foot soldier in an ongoing war between the local "neuters" and their erotically pumped neighbors.
		A structural film, it alternates the mass ecstasy of rock band performances at Brixton Academy with the supposedly private fucking and sucking performances of an attractive young couple.

	The GATE's Review of 'A DIRTY SHAME' @ The 2004 Toronto International Film Festival
		Summed up, the film is basically just a delirious, ridiculous film about sex and how you too can become a pervert.
		At a mere 89 minutes long, the film actually feels overly long, which is a shame, but the other shame is that when the film ends, you don't really feel like you've been taken anywhere or shown anything.
		The cast is of course the most brilliant part of A Dirty Shame and Waters is a superb director on a scale that deserves to be praised.

		On the latter point, consider the fact that Gervais completely ignores the great "shame" monologue when he naively talks about how waiting in a crowded doctor's office is probably the closest thing any film viewer has experienced to the concentration camp-like environment which the protagonists must endure.
		Shame (Skammen) is a drama set in a pre-war and war where the film depicts the interpersonal relationship between Eva (Liv Ullman) and Jan (Max von Sydow) and how the present circumstances affect the couple.
		Shame offers a painfully cinematic experience, however, this is Bergman's intentions as he brings another brilliant event to the audience.

		On its release, Street of Shame was a hit in Japan, and it is commonly believed to have been instrumental in the ultimate passing of the Anti-Prostitution Bill.

	A Dirty Shame (2004): Tracey Ullman, Johnny Knoxville, Selma Blair, Chris Isaak - PopMatters Film Review
		The film is, Waters claims, his first "sex comedy," though fetishes and sex radicalism have been an integral part of all of his work, as has comedy.
		Perhaps Waters was ahead of the curve, and A Dirty Shame identifies the apotheosis of (and return to) sexual conservatism in the U.S. In this case, the film is a manifesto of sorts for a (new) sexual revolution.
		This forms the film's scientific impetus, as there are documented cases of head traumas resulting in extremely heightened sexual arousal.

		Dismayed at the damage that a European showing of the film could do to the image of America that he was now pledged to promote abroad, USIA Director Murrow called the BBC in a vain effort to suppress the show.

	OFFOFFOFF film review A DIRTY SHAME movie by John Waters with Tracey Ullman, Johnny Knoxville, Selma Blair, Chris ...
		It probably goes without mentioning that the director of "A Dirty Shame" is John Waters (after all, not since "ET" have the phrase "pulsating butthole" and Steven Spielberg been mentioned in the same sentence).
		For those who've been holding out hope that Waters has one more great movie in him, "A Dirty Shame" is a lot like getting to the Promised Land after forty years in the desert and having Moses turn around and say, "Just three hundred more miles." One feels betrayed, disappointed, and disproportionately let down.
		There is a 25-minute sequence at the beginning of the film that's as funny as anything Waters has ever directed, but it's overwhelmed by the banality of the other two-thirds of the movie.

		One of the most prominent was David Cronenberg, and while I love what Harron did with the film version, I can't help but wonder what a different film it might have been if Cronenberg had been at the helm.
		Films like "Crash" and "Existenz" were either released in two alternate forms (,i.e.: R rated and NC-17 rated versions were both available to own) to preserve the material or, in Existenz's case, able to receive an R rating by the skin of their teeth.
		To see John Waters getting another NC-17 film released after all these years (see: Pink Flamingos, Desperate Living, etc.) dispells any of those nasty rumors that some naysayers have shopped around about the Baron of Bad Taste softening in his old age.

	Shame DVD review - Time Out Film
		Here live a man and wife, indifferent to the war until it arrives on their doorstep to strip their lives to the bone.
		Presenting war with shattering power as a blindly destructive force, Bergman uses it brilliantly as a background to the real pain: the way the couple are forced to look at each other, and to realise that the only honest feeling they have about their relationship is shame.
		It ends with one of the cinema's most awesomely apocalyptic visions: not the cheeriest of films, but a masterpiece.

		Big Ethel (Suzanne Shepherd), who also works at the drugstore, is the parental figure of the film and she holds meetings for decent people ready to attack the sex-crazed neighbors.
		Nonetheless, there are some good laughs throughout the film, many provided by Big Ethel and her ongoing harsh commentary on all the newfound nastiness all around her.
		The film is crude and offensive, but like many Waters films there is also a deep-down innocence and a sweet message buried in the story.

	A DIRTY SHAME (RATED NC-17) - DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		Interspersed with much grappling over the potential cynicism of the film and whether Waters has in fact gone (too) soft in his middle-age, this is easily the definitive contemporary profile of the auteur, besting AandE's recent Waters-centric episode of "Biography" by virtue of not having to cater to network standards and practices.
		John Waters' A Dirty Shame is perhaps most intriguingly read as an updating of David Cronenberg's sexual zombie film Shivers: although the Canadian auteur's phallic parasites are substituted with the Baltimore auteur's knock-on-the-head slapstick, the core premise retains that essential element of ordinary people-turned-sex-crazed maniacs at the drop of the proverbial hat.
		A Dirty Shame distracts from its strengths whenever Waters' glee with celebrity defecation and horror/fascination with the vagina (the third or fourth time a character emerges from between labial bushes, watches start getting checked) overwhelms a satirical eye keen enough to dissect the hypocrisy and sanctimony fuelling our self-proclaimed guardians of good taste.
