Prague Duet

I saw this film two years ago. It made a deep impression. I have been trying to see it again, but for some reason it is hard to find on video in this town.

This is a meaty, thought provoking movie wrapped around a nasty surprise. Gina Gershon (always a favorite of mine) gives us a great portrait of a respectable, complacent professional whose world disintegrates when she discovers that her identity is based on a lie.

Anyone who has ever tried sleuthing into their family history, or even just contemplated the blank spaces in it, will find this movie fascinating, and maybe a little scary. (Action fans will be disappointed....)

I've searched for this movie for months after having see a portion of it on TV....could not find it under the name Prague Duet. My son (an actor)was doing some work on my computer and told me about your site. I asked him to do a search. He did he said, "Have you looked under the title of Lies and Whispers?" I said no....he checked, found it, then located a copy for me ordered it for me on the spot.....I've had it for 3 days..and I've watched it twice...........sometimes a movie just grabs you. It doesn't hurt to have an incredibly good looking man with a beard AND an accent!!!!!!!

I rented the movie because I love Gina Gershon. Aside from being a very fine underrated actress she is also an incredibly beautiful woman! The movie did start out slow but the scenery was incredible! By the time the story took hold I was captivated by both leads and in the end the story left me satisfied. It works on every level. It is both informative and romantic. The ending is very sweet too. It is worth spending 2 hours watching it.

I turned on the TV and it just happened to be this film. I had never heard of Gina Gershon before. I agree with Zoltan. I liked the film, but really it got so annoying that she hardly ever completely closed her mouth. Very irritating! Otherwise it was enjoyable and it was interesting to learn that Gina is Jewish (if you see the movie, you will understand why I mention this). Prague is indeed a very beautiful and interesting city and a good place for romance. I myself have a Tsjechian (spelling?)grandmother and great-grandparents, although I never met them. When you see the movie, perhaps you will be able to understand why. Greetings from Dorith

If you have ever been, or want to go to Prague, this film has to be rented. The film was better than I expected - the love story is a little contrived at times, and unbelievable, but overall, the film works well and both lead actors put in good performances... The story brings together several themes that run very deep in the blood of the Czech people...
