The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988)

[Shane Rollins]

Orion released this theatrically, which means it most likely went to MGM. How WB could’ve gotten this for their DVD is unknown, since I thought WB just owned the stuff that the two studios co-produced or Orion produced it and WB distributed it (like Caddyshack).

MGM has two different methods of handling their catalog: treat it like it’s their child, or royally F up the film beyond all repair. If MGM has this film, the next question becomes which of those two camps does TULOB fall into.

If WB owns it, then it’s a real toss-up. Does WHV do it and bungle it? Does WAC do it and ace it? Does it get passed to a boutique?

Honestly, ask GF about it. Bug him until he answers. If he says that it’s not WB’s movie, then we know it’s MGM’s movie. If it’s MGM’s, we just have to hope they license it out.
