Thursday, March 16 7:30 - 9:30 pm
Hewlett 102
In the 1950's, Ludvik Jahn was expelled from the Communist Party and the
University by his fellow students, because of a politically incorrect note
he sent to his girlfriend. Fifteen years later, he tries to get his revenge
by seducing Helena, the wife of one of his accusers. Based on Kundera’s
first novel, this was one of the major films of the Czech New Wave before
it was banned for its political content.
This film series is being shown in conjunction with COMPLIT 244: Central
European Literature & Film: 1918-1968. All films will be introduced by the
instructor, Jessie Labov, and followed by a short discussion. Light refreshments will be served.
