I watched this when I was a teenager and I loved it. Twenty years passed and during that time I got diagnosed with OCD and bipolar and went through two breakdowns. The whole romanticizing of mental illness in movies is unsettling to me. I thought it was a good movie though. It just didn't hold up to what I made of it. Apparently, this was Jean Seberg's favorite movie of hers, although I think it's easily Breathless. Jean Seberg plays a schizophrenic nymphomaniac. Warren Beatty plays the therapist who falls for her. Peter Fonda plays a man she leads on. I'll probably read the book it's based on again. I remember liking it. For Jean Seberg fans this is a must.
