MILAN KUNDERA: From the Joke to Insignificance (2021) Trailer ENG

The only documentary about Milan Kundera's legacy.
Why were Milan Kundera's books so successful all over the world? Why did he move to France and started writing in French? What is behind the fact that Kundera banned his French books from being translated to Czech? Why does he avoid publicity?
This documentary analyzes all aspects that influenced Kundera during the creation of his books, including his life in Brno, the time when he studied and then taught on FAMU in Prague, the era of "normalization" when he was prohibited from publishing despite the huge success abroad.
In mid 70s, Kundera accepted an invitation from Rennes University to be a guest professor for a year. In 1979, Czech government took away Kundera's citizenship. Kundera commented this: "At the time, everything was ruled by the russians and it was the russians who decided that I am no longer a Czech". French president Mitterand gave Kundera a French citizenship.
Kundera published his best-known novel "The Unbearable Lighteness of Being" as a French writer. The book was adapted into a film - but after the film's release, Kundera never allowed another film adaptation of any of his books.

Among few favourite writers for sure to me. Not woke enough for Nobel prize. The clarity with which he lays out compeling ideas and thoughts i have never found in any other writer. I find it beautiful that he expreses such complex things in such an understandable way. There is no elitism of culture to be found in his works at all. You dont have to be smart, you dont have to be educated, you dont have to read any other work to understand his work, you dont even have to be into phylosophy and thinking in general to be compeld to think when you read him. If someone is to read him for the first time just dont start with "The book of loughter and forgetting". I recommend "Laughable loves" or "The joke".

2021阅读了米兰昆德拉的所有作品，他作品中的诗意，作品中反集权主义的思想，对于欧洲文学传统（尤其是拉伯雷）的捍卫，让我非常着迷。希望可以尽快看到这部纪录片！
