PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Two-time Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey (American Beauty, Best Actor in a Leading Role, 1999; The Usual Suspects, Best Actor in a Supporting Role, 1995) stars in Shrink, a sharp-witted and uplifting film about the courage it takes to achieve happiness … even in Hollywood. Henry Carter (Spacey) is L.A.’s top celebrity psychiatrist with an A-list clientele, including a famous actress (Saffron 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 presentstate of mind, is Henry ready for the real-life problems of someone who lives far from the Hollywood Hills? Featuring a well-matched cast at the top of their game,Shrink was an Official Selection of the 2009 Sundance Film Festival that has been called “funny, tart andfascinating” (Cinema Signals), and “intense and absorbing” (Jeffery Lyons, Movies and More Radio), whileKevin Spacey's actinghas been deemed"darkly funny"(Associated Press) and his "best performancesinceSwimming with Sharks" (USA Today). Coming to DVD this September from Lionsgate, Shrink contains a host of special features including 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,” a new original song by legendary singer-songwriter Jackson Browne runs over the end title credits, beginning when the screen goes dark at the narrative’s conclusion.Browne is regularly cited as contemporary music’s quintessential confessional singer-songwriter, making his contribution to Shrink an ideal fit.
