rating: 3 of 5 stars3 of 5 stars3 of 5 stars3 of 5 stars3 of 5 stars

subtle and humorous, seriously rich in symbolism calories (the way i like it), constant allusions to the themes of physical and spiritual ageing, psychological and sexual desire, surveillance and meta-surveillance, alter-egos, the soul-killing necessity we call work, distrust, misunderstanding, social commentary, and kundera's aptitude for tying these all together.

but i still like 'the unbearable lightness of being' better. and for a more intensely psychological, dark look at above themes, read arthur schnitzler's 'dream story,' the story that 'eyes wide shut' is based on.
