After "Two Lovers", here is an excellent film that describes a couple original and beautifully Cyclothymic: Revolutionary Road. I think this is one of the best role of Di Caprio and Kate Winslet especially (With the dangerous side of hypomania), larger than life. We see the female character's mental deterioration following a failed vocation as an actress and a theater project. The male character is very stable and cyclothymic made a choice "reasonable" will result in the progressive destruction of the couple. At the end of the film, the neighbor described them as "whimsical "...( capricious, unstable, unrealistic and tempting). Very beautiful word in English, perfectly fair to describe the Cyclothymia: the whimsical disorder
If I were a psychologist or psychiatrist, I show it to my patients or my students as beautiful illustration of cyclothymia.
This film by Sam Mendes is also and above all a great satire of conformity and a tribute to the lucidity of the insane (beautiful character of the insane mathematician) that Foucault would have appreciated. 
Jackie Pigeaud in his presentation (Shores Paperbacks) Problem XXX wrote that the melancholic unstable may be all the others. That is what is expected of an exceptional actor, melancholy and manic and "it not by disease but by nature" (conclusion of Aristotle). 
As noted by Professor Colin Martindale's creative (and I add the cyclothymic) need stimulation but not necessarily an "adventure in the world", especially as their anxiety and depressive traits often condemn them to an avoidance of danger (if the character played by DiCaprio), but if hyperthymic predominates, the novelty seeking assumes risk-taking may be too large (Kate Wislet). Unmissable.
