The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Reading this Milan Kundera novel left me slightly depressed and discontent. I was never amused during the read but that is exactly what Phil Kaufman has tried to instill with his twisted humor in the film version. I don't think he pulled it off. The fact that everyone in the film spoke in an clipped European accent started to grate after a while. I cannot understand why they could not take the film in Czech with English subtitles. Anyhow I could not sit through more than a hour of this drivel.
