Mr. Jones

Richard Gere stars as Mr. Jones, a man who often lives his life on a constant high. But his erratic behavior is often dangerous enough to land him in psychiatric treatments. His doctor, Libbie Bowen (Lena Olin) diagnoses bipolar manic depression that causes him to live life fluctuating between episodes of energy bursts and severe downs that have him suicidal. Mr. Jones rejects taking the medicine that will help treat him whenever possible, which lands him in a mental institution, where he can be under the constant care of Dr. Bowen, although the attraction between the two threatens to jeopardize her career and his mental health.
