Review of The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988) by Glenn J — 19 May 2009

I would hardly call it a triumph of a film, something so steeped in psychology can only admirably be done in book form. Still, the film succeeds at least on surface level, and what we have on the surface level is a wonderfully directed film with great performances from the three leading actors.

The music is what really caught me, I found it just beautiful throughout. A highly accomplished film that seems to keep its audience at a distance. It's beautiful to look at, but not very easy to relate to.
