LOVE AND LIFE

Today's NYTimes Best 1176 Film was the second half of

The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988)

Daniel Day-Lewis, Juliette Binoche, Lena Olin.

I saw this twice when it came out. It is full of life and complex, sometimes, love.

The first half includes the skillful melding of news footage of the Russian takeover of Budapest with the key players.

There is a great dog.

The second half takes us further into the lives of these three people and, most poignantly for us, the dog.

It is very good. Very well done.

There is no doubt that this is a 5 out of Netflix5. I would like to see it again sometime in the future.
