Seat In Shadow
Synopsis
After a visit to his studio by his chain-smoking tea swilling mate Marcella, Albert agrees to just one therapy session with the troubled Ben unsure as he is as to how he can help him... this quickly becomes extended however as Ben begins to see the benefits of his engagement with the older man. Things take a turn howvere when Ben starts to question Alberts won behaviour, and consequently the methods by which Albert is driving him. Meanwhile Alberts own behaviour becomes more outrageous as he behaves with more excess and immaturity than the boy he is trying to help!
Coombes’ debut feature is a witty, perceptive study of social mores, sexual excess and the bizarre, symbiotic relationship between doctor and patient; teacher and pupil; artist and muse.
