SOCKS AND CAKES, written and directed by Antonio Padovan, is an exceptional blend of comedy and drama, telling the tale of five friends who get together for a dinner party, only to discover deep, hidden truths about themselves and each other.
Embittered French literature professor Harry Mogulevsky (Timothy J. Cox) still carries a torch for his ex-wife Amanda (Kirsty Meares) who seems to be having problems of her own with current husband Richard (Jeff Moffitt) who has eyes for real estate whiz David's (Ben Prayz) latest conquest, the sexy and vivacious Sophie (Alex Vincent).
Padovan's film is nicely paced throughout, taking care not to make the affair too maudlin or depressing. It moves quite swiftly and balances the comedy and drama nicely.
The film receives an A+ for some excellent camera work, compliments of director of photography Alessandro Penazzi.
Of the cast, Cox and Meares are stand outs, but Ben Prayz is equally impressive in his gloriously theatrical turn as the always grinning David.
Well done!
