Product: The Unbearable Lightness of Being (Two-Disc Special Edition) (2006)
Rating: 5.0
Excellent treatment of novel of 1968 Czech life & death.
Philip and Rose Kaufman scored big with this ren dering of the Kundera novel about life and death in Communist Czechoslovakia in the year of the brutal Soviet crackdown. A womanizing physician, an artist/sophisticate and a country girl-ingenue in a tantalizing, ribald, hilarious and finally tragic love triangle against a background of war and oppression. Good story with multiple messages for all of us.
