With Maximum Shame we find ourselves in a black hole in which time and reality have no meaning at all. We go from one bizarre situation to another. This movie feels a bit like a twisted postapocalyptic trip down the rabbit hole. Room to breathe between these bizarre isn’t a luxury Maximum Shame grants you. The pace is high, but suits this movie excellently and isn’t bothering at any given time at all.
Maximum Shame is a trip created by Carlos Atanes. The world he presents us is a world of the bizarre. In this world everybody is a piece in a game of chess played by the director himself. The pieces in the game are pieces that could’ve come straight from a twisted version of Alice in Wonderland.
