Year: 1988
Director: Philip Kaufman
Plot: In Philip Kaufman's surprisingly successful film adaptation of Czech author Milan Kundera's demanding 1984 bestseller, Daniel Day-Lewis stars as Tomas, an overly amorous Prague surgeon, while Juliette Binoche plays Tereza, the waiflike beauty whom he marries. Even though he's supposedly committed, Tomas continues his wanton womanizing, notably with his silken mistress Sabina (Lena Olin). Escaping the 1968 Russian invasion of Prague by heading for Geneva, Sabina takes up with another man and unexpectedly develops a friendship with Tereza. Meanwhile, Tomas, who previously was interested only in sex, becomes politicized by the collapse of Czechoslovakia's Dubcek regime. The Unbearable Lightness of Being may be too leisurely for some viewers, but other viewers may feel the same warm sense of inner satisfaction that is felt after finishing a good, long novel. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Body: Oh, I just saw this movie for the first time and realy liked it. Director Phillip Kaufman did a great job with bringing me into this very seductive movie. It is kind of erotic, but the story and characters are solid and very three dimensional. Daniel Day Lewis is always good. Juliet Binoche is sweet. Lena Olin is devilishly delightful. All are really good actors. The movie is a bit long, but I didn't care. I like it.
