Pros: Just about everything I think Cons: People will complain about its length
I think my interest for the film, The Unbearable Lightness of Being started when I read Pauline Kael's book, Hooked, in which she reviewed this film. In her review, she praised the film and the fact that she has always particularly liked ...
In 1984, Czech novelist Milan Kundera released the novel The Unbearable Lightness of Being about a Czech doctor whose love of sex reaches a breaking point between his carefree mistress and his innocent wife. The book was so praised that it ...
Pros: lots and lots Cons: its done at a leisurely pace

Film Write Off . This film seems appropriate for that write-off, touted as it was as being the most erotic serious film since "Last Tango In Paris". I've ...
Pros:Last Tango In Paris meets Stalingrad for a look at the Prague invasion of '68... Cons: May be too explicit for some audiences...
If anything, Lightness might be considered a modern-day fable, providing us with what we may find uncomfortable parallels with the invasion of Iraq. It is a tale of people trying to maintain their grip on reality when faced with the totality and ...
Pros: writing, acting, directing, history Cons: it's 3 hours, if that's a negative
The Unbearable Lightness of Being is, for the most part, a drama/tragedy involving a Czech couple. However, due to the inspired setting of the Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia, there are a few political touches as well. The dramatic setting produces a...
Pros: A literary minded, beautiful film Cons: It does require an attention span
"The Unbearable Lightness of Being" is one of the best and most underrated American films of the past twenty years. Philip Kauffman, the California filmmaker who also directed "Right Stuff" and "Quills", is one of the few...

The Unbearable Lightness of Being
As Reviewed by James Brundage
When I first watched The Unbearable Lightness of Being, I was dating a poet who had read and loved the book. Not wanting to involve myself in reading the book at that...
Pros: Complex, emotional story that really makes you think. Cons: Chick flick material. Some may be put off by the nudity.

Pros: Great actors/actresses; Daniel Day Lewis, Juliet Binoche. Great setting, great Cons: somewhat slow, but worth the wait!
Ok, here goes. If you dig movies about love, sex, romance, torment and, well, if I thru in the last category I would ruin the movie for you and this movie is so spectacular I don't want to do that to you, well then this movie is for all you hopeless...
Pros: the ending Cons: some would say it's a bit long - I think it's worth it!
