With all this heat, we thought you might be thirsty for Philip Kaufman’s poetically polyamorous drama starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Lena Olin, and Juliette Binoche. A film that paints the romantic and sexual tensions of three young gorgeous people onto the backdrop of Soviet imperialism of Eastern Europe in the 1960s and 1970s, Kaufman’s adaptation of the Milan Kundera novel explores interpersonal and the international upheavals. Daniel Day-Lewis plays a Czech surgeon who uses his looks and charms to win over not one, but two stunning women who agree to move from one European country to another, in a tortured throuple thrust into the Soviet invasion of the former Czechoslovakia.
