The article consists of an analysis of the film The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Phillip Kaufman based on Milan Kundera’s novel. I utilise the strategy of intertextuality while warning against the tendency to compare a film and a novel on the wrong assumption that they are texts of the same kind. By asking specific questions about the film version of Kundera’s novel I demonstrate the creative manner in which the medium of the film produces meaning through images.
