THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING (1988)

PHILIP KAUFMAN

Plot

A brilliantly atmospheric and evocative adaption of Milan Kundera's novel of love, invasion and exile in the Prague spring of 1968. Tomas, a talented doctor, has to choose between both his lovers and political compromise or exile from the country he loves. A superb film of love and life.
