The Unbearable Lightness of Being

So that's my recommendation for this week's.

The three films by Louis Bunuel and even The Unbearable Lightness of Being, in which, you know, the book is great.

And I'm a huge fan of Milan Kundera.

I could just as easily have recommended any of his books.

But the more time she spends with them, the more she's drawn into a complicated web of love, desire, and jealousy, and ambition.

Acclaimed filmmaker, Philip Kaufman, Unbearable Lightness of Being, and The Right Stuff, which just got announced, uh, as a 4k coming from Criterion, which is very exciting in November.

Um, directs this erotic adaptation of Anae Nin's posthumously published memoir.

The first film to ever receive an NC-17 rating in the U.S. stars Fred Ward from The Right Stuff, Uma Thurman, Maria de Medeiros, who was in Pulp Fiction, and Richard E.

This is almost certainly, for me, his best.

I also really like Unbearable Lightness of Being quite a bit.

Oh, yeah, that is a pretty good one.

I didn't – yeah, he had Rising Sun, which is a very muddy movie.

The Right

Stuff is – yeah.

I mean, look, if you have – If you have unbearable lightness of being on the right stuff and invasion of body snatchers from the 70s in one career, any bad movies, they could be really terrible.

They're all forgiven.

Mm

... onboard direct, and y'all, he is arguably the biggest name director out of any of these Ashley Judd thrillers we've covered thus far, having directed 1978's Invasion of the Body Snatchers, 1988's Oscar-nominated The Unbearable Lightness of Being, and 1990's Henry & June, AKA the first film to be given the NC-17 rating by the MPAA, and 2000's Quills-

Ooh

...

This is the only Doctor Who acting credit for Tomek.

His non-Who credits include The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Murder on the Moon, Tailspin: Behind the Korean Airliner Tragedy, The Bill, Sleepers, Lovejoy, and Doctors.

Dr. Judson is played by Dinsdale Landen.

Only Doctor Who acting credit here, though Dinsdale was originally cast as Ganatus in the Daleks, but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts, so.
