Reviews
New York Times - ...[Day-Lewis, Binoche and Olin] are surprisingly fine -- both modest and intense....Notably ambitious..., Los Angeles Times - ...Kaufman has made a fine-looking film. He has cast the three points of his erotic triangle bravely and adroitly..., Variety - ...Mature, serious and intellectual....Great films are seldom made from great novels, but THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING stands as a stunning and surprising exception...

Milan Kundera
Additional Information
THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING is a sensual and sensitive adaptation of Milan Kundera's tragicomic existentialist novel that follows the story of Thomas (Daniel Day Lewis), a womanising Czech doctor in 1968 Prague, prior to the Soviet invasion, whose sexual appetite is never fully satisfied. Thomas believes in keeping sexual gratification separate from love and finds true understanding and erotic bliss with Sabina (Lena Olin), a seductive and elusive artist. However, Thomas's understanding of love and commitment is challenged when he meets Tereza (Juliette Binoche), a sexually naive and innocent young woman who captures Thomas's fancy on an out-of-town business trip. When Tereza appears on his Prague doorstep, Thomas lets down his guard and allows the young woman to stay with him, breaking all his rules regarding the dangers of seductive entanglement. Despite his numerous affairs, Thomas falls deeply in love with Tereza, and they eventually marry. Sabina accepts Thomas's marriage to Tereza, but Tereza cannot accept Thomas's many lovers and is deeply hurt by her sly husband. Tereza's own sexual awakening and creative spirit is at the core of the film, as she is undeniably captivating to both Thomas and Sabina, who becomes her friend and artistic mentor. The three become involved in an intense love triangle that is eventually shattered by the violent Soviet invasion of 1968. Tereza's burgeoning photographic passion is documented in a creative black-and-white montage of the invasion, beautifully crafted by cinematographer Sven Nykvist. This captivating and brilliant literary adaptation is a subtle and complex character study in which Daniel Day Lewis, Lena Olin, and Juliette Binoche give magnificent lead performances.

The Unbearable Lightness Of Being
I do realise that this film has rave reviews, and of course, it is taken from the book by Milan Kundera. The story details the circumstances of life for artists and intellectuals in Communist Czechoslovakia in the wake of the Prague Spring and the subsequent invasion by the USSR .... and, there is loads of sex ;o) But, for me, it's just tad painful. I feel the story floats on the surface of the characters and storyline, and I didn't find myself absorbed or involved in any part of the detail. So, sorry, but for me it's not a good review. However, we are all different with different opinions and ways of seeing things so perhaps for another viewer it's the best film ever. Sorry I can't be any more positive.
