We decided to watch this HBO Europe mini-series because we admire the work of Agnieszka Holland.
My wife and I were teens when this took place, my wife was in Poland and I was in the US. I remember watching the invasion on television and wondering why no one was coming to the aid of the protesters.
This film is expertly done and the series captures the feel of post invasion Prague. We were absolutely captivated by the series and my wife said it was accurate portrayal of life behind the Iron Curtain.
A lot of people don't enjoy films with subtitles but if you can beyond that you will be absolutely captivated by this masterpiece.
