About this product

Product Information

Mr. Jones (Richard Gere) is a man suffering from bipolar disorder, a disease that affords him periods of intense emotional pleasure and expansiveness but which also results in periods of suicidal depression. Libbie (Lena Olin), a doctor at a psychiatric hospital, takes an interest in his condition, and also in him--after all, he's intelligent, perceptive, and charming. Mr. Jones likes her, also, and puts enough trust in her to allow himself to be treated. But the longer he spends at the hospital, the more he misses the soaring highs that are a part of the man he considers himself to be. Gere's performance is a risky one; he researched the role, but mostly relies on the natural magnetism that has made him such a popular actor to show just how wonderful the "up" Mr. Jones is, and hence what is at stake in his treatment. In creating such a role, director Mike Figgis gives a hint of things to come, since LEAVING LAS VEGAS is also the story of a man who would rather not compromise, and rests on a similarly audacious central performance.

  • What’s it like to live with bipolar disorder?

    Mr. Jones (Richard Gere) is bipolar. His mania takes him to dizzying heights. His depression is debilitating. His therapist falls in love with him. But in her defense it’s easy to do. He is charming, handsome, and thoroughly vulnerable. This may not be Richard Gere’s best movie, but it may be his most touching performance. It’s an under-rated classic and an eye-opening look into the mind and life of an individual with bipolar disorder.

  • Great movie. Richard Gere and Lena Olin.

    I've only been able to watch the start of the video. My CD-DVD disc drive is not working right and I don't have an alternate DVD player. However, I am glad to have this DVD in my library. I was able to watch the beginning 15 minutes of the movie. I like this movie very much.The package delivery worked without a hitch.
