O impulsivo, irresponsável, irresistível Mr. Jones (Richard Gere) é um homem que conquista as pessoas sem esforço com seu charme contagioso e energia fascinante. Ele também é um homem que facilmente entra em depressão e desespero. A inteligente, dedicada e respeitada Dra. Libbie Bowen (Lena Olin) é a psiquiatra que, apesar de toda a experiência, está totalmente despreparada para tratar o Mr. Jones. Ele a desafia, a intriga, consegue ver o que ela sente por dentro, e logo Libbie se vê arriscando toda sua carreira por amor. Em uma história atípica do poder do amor, Mr. Jones esclarece as enormes complexidades da psicose maníaco-depressiva enquanto examina a frágil relação médico/paciente no difícil mundo da saúde mental.

Here is the most convincing presentation of Brahms' symphonies that I personally have ever experienced. There is no explaining a gift like Leonard Bernstein, a true legend and one of the truly great ones of the 20th century (and a great Brahms conductor!). I have followed his career and recordings both at the NY Philharmonic and at Vienna (other places too). His brilliance and incandescence are revelatory in these Brahms performances. His view of a thorough-going romantic Brahms expressing his passionate control of an inner rage in classical form is convincing. He and this great Vienna orchestra give a consistent statement of it. And, of course, Bernstein's introductory comments are without peer.

This film speaks to the uniquely inherent traits that drummers and percussionists possess as natural explorers of music and sound, and how this particular story explores the challenge of translating foreign voices of percussive expression into the dialect of a Western classical orchestra setting.

“What is this life—and this death?” Gustav Mahler famously asked when composing his second symphony. Does consciousness “continue” on a higher cosmic level, he wondered, or is it “only an empty dream?” Narrated by renowned baritone Thomas Hampson, this film explores the musical, biographical, and philosophical background of the monumental work. Viewers are treated to beautifully produced historical reenactments as well as interviews with many of the world’s most respected Mahler scholars and biographers, including Henry-Louis de La Grange, Donald Mitchell, Morten Solvik, and others. Philosopher Martha Nussbaum and theologians Catherine Keller and Neil Gillman also add their insights. Woven throughout is a critically acclaimed performance of the symphony featuring members of the New York Philharmonic and the Philadelphia Orchestra under the direction of maestro Neeme Järvi.
