Synopsis
Mr. Jones (1993) is a Mike Figgis romantic drama you can watch online on iFILM. Richard Gere plays a charming drifter whose highs soar as fast as his lows crash.
One morning Jones can talk a construction worker out onto the edge of a beam, blow through every dollar he has, and sweep a stranger off her feet; a week later he can't get out of bed. The diagnosis is bipolar disorder, and a psychiatric ward is where he finally lands under watch. His doctor, Libbie Bowen (Lena Olin), crosses a line she knows she shouldn't — professional concern slides into something else, and soon more than her patient is at stake.
Figgis cares less about the illness than about the pull of trying to save someone who can't be saved. Anne Bancroft, Delroy Lindo and Bill Pullman fill out the supporting cast. It's a quiet two-hander for anyone who likes a film that rests on its actors and the uneasy space between them. Stream Mr. Jones (1993) online on iFILM.
