Roman Polanski has directed a short film starring Ben Kingsley and Helena Bonham-Carter for the designer Italian brand, Prada.

Premiered at Cannes this week, A Therapy sees Helena Bonham-Carter as a client with a standard case of 'affluenza' and Ben Kingsley as the impassive therapist. Looking nonchalantly breathtaking, she glides into the practice, slips out of her fur, kicks off her Prada heels and reclines on the couch before detailing a recent dream sequence. As she talks, Kingsley becomes increasingly distracted by her exquisite coat and eventually moves in to caress it before the quip of a closing tagline appears.

The film is replete with the sort of demure decadence one would expect from Prada and plays on the universal desirability of such luxury. View it here.
