Product: The Unbearable Lightness of Being (Two-Disc Special Edition) (2006)
Rating: 5.0
Unbearably Moving
The movie and book are almost two completely different works of art.The book - a philosophical and at times clinical look at relationships - Kundera's commentaries distancing you from the characters and storyline.The movie on the other hand draws you in from the very start - falling in love w/ Tereza and Tomas - they become a part of you - it just draws me in over and over again. It's amazing that in Tomas' infidelity and impureness - such a pure and beautiful relationship springs.I wish I could get more people to give this movie a viewing. Every time I watch it, it touches my life in a way so few movies do.
