Philip Kaufman
The Unbearable Lightness of Being - DDL
Intimacy and ideology collide under the pressure of history.
Against the backdrop of the Prague Spring and the subsequent Soviet invasion, this philosophical drama traces the life of Tomas, a surgeon whose belief in emotional and sexual freedom is challenged by love and political oppression. His relationships with the devoted Tereza and the independent Sabina expose tensions between commitment and autonomy. As history intrudes on private lives, the film meditates on the weight of choice, memory, and consequence.
Tegen de achtergrond van de Praagse Lente en de daaropvolgende Sovjetbezetting volgt deze film de chirurg Tomas, die gelooft in absolute vrijheid, zowel emotioneel als seksueel. Zijn relaties met de toegewijde Tereza en de onafhankelijke Sabina leggen de spanning bloot tussen verbondenheid en autonomie. Wanneer de geschiedenis hun levens binnendringt, krijgen keuzes onvermijdelijk gewicht.
