Mr Jones | Year: 1993 Classification: Drama Directed: - Mike Figgis Actors/Actresses: - Richard Gere - Lena Olin - Anne Bancroft Surprise :) This movie looks as though it will be another one of those trite, over-simplified stories of a mentally ill man. Surprise! Barring the Hollywood idea that all therapists sleep with their patients, this is a great movie that accurately depicts a serious and complex mental illness. I will say that were a therapist to become romantically involved it would probably be with a bipolar patient because their manic cycle is so exciting and exhilirating after endless lifeless burdened people. Gere is astoundingly accurate in his portrayal of both the manic and depressive cycle of bipolar - impressive. A great movie!!! Impulsive, Irresponsible, Irrististable... A spellbinding story of a man on the verge of self destruction who is saved by love. Richard Gere gives a tremendous performance as Mr. Jones, a manic depressive who, during his highs is funny, creative and charming. Sometimes shocking and extremely impulsive, Mr. Jones is a man no woman can resist, including Dr. Libbie Bowen (Lena Olin), his concerned therapist assigned to his case. A movie I wish I hadn't waited so long to see. Well worth buying. Funny, Charming and Romantic This is a pretty good movie I thought. Richard Gere plays Mr.Jones a man who suffers from manic depression who has suicidal tendencies. When I saw it I thought this is one of Richard Gere's best performances in a long time. He really did a great job and it is probably the best acting that I've seen him do in quite awhile. Lena Olin is also very good as the psychiatrist who takes an interest in him both as a patient and in the personal sense. I really liked this movie and have added to my movie collection. It is one of those rare movies that you can see just about anytime. Overall is a good movie but if you need more convincing than that then see it beause of Richard Gere he is excellent in this film and that should be reason enough I think.
