This film is adapted from Milan Kundera's novel of the same name. In 1968, Prague surgeon Tomas (played by Daniel Day-Lewis) indulges in the pleasures of chasing women and enjoys sexual gratification. Painter Sabina (played by Lena Olin) is Tomas's confidante, but during a trip to a spa, Tomas meets waitress Tereza (played by Juliette Binoche). Soon, Tereza moves to Prague, and the two get married. Despite being married, Tomas continues his affair with Sabina and other women. Tereza, unable to endure Tomas's infidelity, leaves late at night and encounters the Soviet armed invasion of Czechoslovakia. The three of them flee to Geneva, Switzerland, where Sabina meets a local university professor, Franz (played by Derek de Lint). Tereza, having lost her job and feeling down, returns alone to Prague with her small dog, Karenin. Between freedom and restraint, how should Tomas choose? This film was one of the top ten films in the USA in 1988, receiving Oscar nominations for Best Cinematography and Best Adapted Screenplay in 1989, as well as Golden Globe nominations for Best Motion Picture – Drama and Best Supporting Actress (Lena Olin) and winning the BAFTA Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, and the National Society of Film Critics Awards for Best Director and Best Film.
