Rating: 5.0
Don't let the title fool you!
This movie took me by surprise. I was not expecting the powerful emotions that it evoked. I first watched this movie through a rental and liked it so much that I bought the DVD.This movie tells the tale of a somewhat promiscuous Doctor in Prague,Czechoslovakia before and during the Soviet invasion. He finds and marries a passionate "country" girl while maintaining his extramarital activities. The Soviet invasion puts an end to their way of life and the couple struggle to keep some semblance of normality in a war torn country.This is an erotic, bittersweet drama. Be prepared to experience a full range of emotions. Perhaps you'll be surprised too.
