Exclusive Clip: Jonas Pate’s Shrink

Coming to DVD next Tuesday (September 29th) via Lionsgate, I haven’t looked at the B.O numbers, but I think Shrink may be one of those Sundance titles that works better on DVD than theatrically. I like the camera work here in this scene below, no allusions to what plot developments may occur further down the road between Kevin Spacey’s shrink character and that of the actress client — the jaw dropping beaut Saffron Burrows. The DVD is stocked with your regular items: deleted scenes, audio commentary and on-camera interviews with the director Jonas Pate and producer Braxton Pope, along with the music video “Here” by Jackson Browne. Here’s the clip and synopsis: Henry Carter (Spacey) is L.A.’s top celebrity psychiatrist with an A-list clientele, including a famous actress (Burrows), a wildly insecure young writer (Mark Webber), and an obsessive-compulsive super-agent (Dallas Roberts). Disillusioned with both his career and personal life, Henry’s only hope of salvation could come from his first pro bono case, a beautiful but troubled teenage girl (Keke Palmer). But considering his present state of mind, is Henry ready for the real-life problems of someone who lives far from the Hollywood Hills?
