Product: The Unbearable Lightness of Being (Two-Disc Special Edition) (2006)
Rating: 5.0
Light as rebellion . . .
Tomas takes life with 'light' laughter and skirt chasing, rarely serious about anything--except the pursuit of women. But even this womanizing is his method of sticking it to the man; the statist, mind-numbing communist leadership. In this regard, making love is a form of protest. He also cannot sustain this lightness and leaves Geneva to go back to the Communist dominated Prague(Post Prague Spring). And yet he sticks to his inner code, will not sign a confession to regain his medical post, and ends up wahing windows in Prague, while remaining true(in his own special way) to his love. No matter how battered and sad his world becomes, Tomas laughs at the little things in life, never forgets to marvel at the beauty of it all--and how fast it all passes by.
