Lilith

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.
