Synopsis: The Bell Jar (1979)
Synopis: A dark and powerful drama based on the autobiographical novel by poetess Sylvia Plath. The film depicts the painful mental breakdown of a dynamic, industrious woman in the fifties who works at an upscale fashion magazine. When Esther (Hassett) returns to her home in New England, her mental state continues to diminish. Somber news from every angle eventually pushes her over the edge.Features: The Bell Jar (1979)

The readings of the poems are very good and the last 15-20 minutes are extremely moving. It is probably not worth buying and is a questionable rental, but if you like Plath or poetry or insane asylums, it might be worth a watch.
It's definitely more interesting than some of the current action flicks... ...
