055 - The Unbearable Lightness of Being

[myback12000]

Re-built retail label of the Criterion issue of "The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988)" (Spine #55). The letters and lines in the original were reflective which have been made black here.


Philip Kaufman achieves a delicate, erotic balance with his screen version of Milan Kundera’s “unfilmable” novel. Adapted by Kaufman and Jean-Claude Carrière, the film follows a womanizing surgeon (Daniel Day-Lewis) as he struggles with his free-spirited mistress (Lena Olin) and his childlike wife (Juliette Binoche). An intimate epic, The Unbearable Lightness of Being charts the frontiers of relationships with wit, emotion, and devastating honesty.


Cheers!
