Synopsis

A young doctor's quest for sex and his stumbling into love are part of the rich storyline of this lyrical film from the landmark Milan Kundera novel, directed by Philip Kaufman (The Right Stuff, Henry & June). Daniel Day-Lewis, Juliette Binoche and Lena Olin indelibly form the romantic triangle at the center of Tomas' (Day-Lewis) world. It's a shifting world of hope spoiled and renewed, of lives blighted by oppression and reinvigorated by deep, maturing love.

Review

An erotic, witty and intelligent film adaptation of Milan Kundera's best-selling novel. Set against the backdrop of the Prague Spring of 1968, the story follows a young, womanizing Czech doctor who finds himself caught in the turmoil of the uprising despite his aversion to politics. Day-Lewis, Binoche and Olin all beautifully portray their characters' intertwined relationships against the powerfully evoked background of political upheaval and displacement.
