The 10 Worst Movies I Have Ever Seen: Runner Up

The Unbearable Lightness of Being, dir. Philip Kaufman

Never has a movie with so much sex in it bored me to tears as much as this one. Not only was The Unbearable Lightness of Being incredibly long, but there was nothing to it. The sex scenes had no emotion whatsoever. Daniel Day-Lewis, Juliette Binoche and Lena Olin are all stale and cold here delivering nothing but empty performances. The film didn't seem to have much of a point. Just a bunch of people lusting after one another and eventually teaming up to have sex. Sex can be done very well in a movie (as we all know) and actually have some life to it. And sure, the Soviet Invasion was a part of the movie; I didn't care for it either. The first and last time I watched this was at a friend's birthday party (yes, a very weird choice for a birthday movie.) She said the book was really good, so I was willing to give the movie a chance instead of protesting against it. I can safely say that I never want to sit through this sluggish film again. Unbearable is what it is.
