The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Film

In 1988, an American-made film adaptation of the novel was released starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Lena Olin and Juliette Binoche and directed by Philip Kaufman. In a note to the Czech edition of the book, Kundera remarks that the movie had very little to do with the spirit either of the novel or the characters in it.[7] In the same note, Kundera goes on to say that after this experience he no longer allows any adaptations of his work.
