Funny, but I didn't like Unbearable Lightness Of Being the first time I saw it, and I'd almost swear the opening was different at the theatre than on the video. It seemed like soft porn with no story. We saw it again just for help with Czech accents when my wife was in Larry Shue's play Wenceslas Square, and watching it again with no expectations, it killed us. When they buried their dog. It ambled around, plotlessly, but the details, and rendering of the characters were the whole story.

It's odd. My whole life my mother has said how surprised she was when she saw the Mona Lisa, how small it was. So when my sister and I saw it, we were shocked how friggin huge it was.
