UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING

[TheBebelehaut]

I especially like 2 movies - Unbearable Lightness and Mississipi Masala...

The Connection? Sabina goes to California & Mina goes to Alabama...

[Chkhito999]

Nice Movie! Recommended

I don't understand. How is it possible for the sound effects to be in sync, but the voices not?

I wanted to watch this, but it's impossible with this sound track.

I wept when I finished reading the book

The film................I am afraid I couldnt help myself!

[Bozonofski]

They don't look Czech...

[Sakura790]

I don't know.... this novel has been in my head for 4 years , is a masterpiece, but I'm not sure about the movie.Maybe because that's not how I imagine Theresa  or Thomas.Anyway ,let's see how it goes xD

[DRsLilestMami]

sooooooooooo what is this movie about?

[pab7984]

i love this movie. one of my favorites.

[DuudeNO]

I love the book.

and another movie that brings up the whole concept of eternal return is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind

[HerrAmn]

It's weird. Unbearable Lightness is my favorite novel ever, but I'm so afraid to watch the film because I have such a vivid image of it in my mind (how it unfolds). Maybe I'll give it a chance, though..

For what it's worth, Kundera was VERY angry with the adaptation, to the extent that all his works now have clauses that forbid adaptations of any sort. I love the work, but if you're married to the novel exactly you probably won't. If you understand the inherent differences between the novel as a form and film as a form, and what is possible in each, then you may find much to enjoy.

[CKconcerts]

@jgrab1 that's really helpful.. I have been debating whether or not to watch the film after reading the novel a few years ago.

[jgrab1]

@CKconcerts I love the film and the novel, so I'd still recommend seeing it. It's different. Not "better," not "worse," but different. It has to be. A movie is not a novel. A novel is not a movie.

[greg5566]

@jgrab1 Right. In other words, Kundera is an idiot.

[kautokeine]

The sequence shows the end of the "Prager Frühling" during the reform politics of Alexander Dubček. In my opinion, the film is of 1988. The novel by Milan Kundera is published in 1987.

[sammyhill69]

The movie is from 1987

Does your life happen once or infinitely many times? Which is easier to bear.

[runbambirun]

Still love the boots, after all these years.

[suvirmisra]

Amazing , .....beautiful...it seems to capture the period so magnificently......

I would love to see how the inner turmoil gets captured in the movie....

[Konfucius1918]

Štrnásteho marca 1950 prišiel vtedy 21-ročný študent pražskej FAMU Milan Kundera na oddelenie Štátnej bezpečnosti a oznámil miesto, kam mal prísť navštíviť svoju známu istý Miroslav Dvořáček, emigrant, pracujúci v službách západných spravodajských služieb. Na základe toho bol Miroslav Dvořáček zatknutý a neskôr odsúdený na 22 rokov, z ktorých si štrnásť odsedel.
