"Passion of Mind" is a 2000 psychological drama film starring Demi Moore. It was the first English-language film from Belgian director Alain Berliner, best known for the arthouse success "Ma Vie en Rose".

Plot

Marty (Demi Moore) is a high-powered single literary agent in Manhattan. Marie (also Demi Moore) is a widow in Provence with two daughters and a peaceful life. Marty has been seeing a therapist (Peter Riegert) to deal with her vivid dreams of Marie's life; when Marie falls asleep she dreams Marty's life, but is much less disturbed by it. Each woman is convinced that the other is a figment of her imagination. When Marty meets Aaron (William Fichtner) they become friends and eventually lovers; terrified that her vivid other life means that she's losing her mind, Marty does not want to tell Aaron about it but finally does. Marie, meanwhile, has met William (Stellan Skarsgård); she too is reluctant to tell William about her dreams, particularly since she (as Marty) is falling in love with Aaron, but realizes that she cannot keep such an important part of her life a secret.

The two men react very differently: William is jealous, Aaron is skeptical but not at all threatened and wants only for Marty to be happy. Dreams and real life begin to merge when Marie goes on holiday with William to Paris, and Marty wakes up with an ashtray from the hotel on her night stand. Eventually Marty/Marie must come to terms with reality and choose which life is real and which is illusion.

Reviews

Reviews were mixed, from "A lyrical and pensive romantic drama about the important roles dreams can play in our lives" to "exhibits little passion and even less mind," although the lush French countryside is beautifully photographed.

Awards

Moore was nominated for a Razzie for Worst Actress for this film.
