Relapse: The Belinda Hon Story. *A note on Facebook!

Based on her own (award-winning?) autobiographical anthology Life Unplugged, Relapse: The Belinda Hon Story traces the rise and fall (and rise again, and then fall one more time and then finally rise?) of one of the 21st-centuries most complex and enduring figures: Belinda Hon. From her early discovery by a Malaysian playwright laureate, to her rise to fame and her eventual struggle with emotional manic-ness and unrequited love, Relapse traces Hon’s life in all its glory, and how she, in equal parts thespian, writer, friend, lover, and mental case, overcame all odds to become one of the world’s most prominent leading ladies. It is a tale of life, love, laughter and the occasional bout of madness.

CRITIC’S SAY:“Winslet gives the performance of her career!” – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone“Brilliant… A truly vivid journey through a remarkable life…” – A. O. Scott, The New York Times “It is a window into the soul of one of this generations most fascinating figures, and we share in her happiness, her passion, her sadness and madness, and, when it is all over, we come out seeing the world anew. Miraculous.” – Robert Ebert, Chicago Sun Times

Directed by Clint Eastwood and produced by Martin Scorsese with a stellar cast.

Just for laughs. If my life was made into a movie, this would be the cast list for the theater section :)
