Nuodemes uzkalbejimas

I am not very big fan of Lithuanian cinema, but this film was really interesting to watch. Why? Because it was something different. The concept was quite brave for Lithuanian audience. Some of the scenes were even more open than in French movies. All this film is the mix of sins: forbidden lust, suicide, lie, infidelity, madness, compulsion, violence. Actually lust seems to be the biggest sin that causes all the problems of the film characters. The characters are not casual persons: artists, priest, psychiatrist, necrologist. All of them are trying to live through their own dramas. But "fixing" their lives they just make everything more complicated. Screening is based on the book of one of the most famous Lithuanian writers.

Sorry, I am not among those Lithuanians who condemn everything that local writers, artists, producers, filmmakers, etc. produce. I liked that film very much, the actors were great. Some of the actors were offered the personages the kind of what they never used to be before. And this was the great experience and challenge. Of course, Jurga Ivanauskaite is a great talent. Films, books and other pieces of art are made not for the narrow circle of critics, they are made for people. Everyone is entitled to have his/her own opinion, so mine is "great film". I'd like other Ivanauskaite's novels to be made into films.

first of all I admit, I never liked lithuanian movies. when I saw Algimantas Puipa movie "Forest of gods", I was so disappointed. today I went to the cinema, to see this movie called "whisper of sin", just because my family wanted me to see it, and change my opinion on lithuanian movies. guess what. my opinion totally changed. the biggest surprise was the acting - it wasn't boring and ridiculous.I think Rasa Samuolyte - is the best actress in this movie.only thing i didn't like was the misery , pessimism, darkness in this movie. but anyway, I'm surprised that I liked the movie, and that this lithuanian movie is actually very good.

I really wanted to see it, and waited for this movie with impatience.

There was a rumors around me, that A. Puipa, R. Samuolyte, K. Smoriginas and other people of this filmed story, are just brilliant! They have done theirs job just perfect...

And then, the "biggest moment", I saw this chef-d'oeuvre! Actually, I can't say, that "Whisper of Sin" is great, but... it has something that is catching you.

J. Ivanauskaite has opened the most darkest sides of humanity, which are demon-strated in this movie. You can feel ugly, when you see some scenes, you can feel good, when you see another scenes... but you always know- it's possible... it can bee in real life... and that makes you a big impression!

Screenplay is "strong" and bold, acting is terrific, background of this movie- Vilnius, is great too... and I'm "afraid" it's one of the best movie, ever made in Lithuania!

Quite good, though not as good as I've expected after hearing so much of praising. This particular movie was indeed very wide advertised here in Lithuania even before it was finished as it is more or less, hard to say as haven't read that particular book, based on Jurga Ivanauskaite's book "Ragana ir lietus", so I was pretty eager to go and watch it. Well, all the critics, or, OK, most of them, just had cried 'Oh, how good it was going to be and how good it is. What a masterpiece of Puipa'. Well, partly I can or even must agree. This is really a nice movie and, if compared to some other 'great' Lithuanian movies, it's even almost excellent. What I mean by this? Oh, it's just that during the past decade almost all Lithuanian movies were totally unwatchable as a regular person hardly could understand what stuff he or she's been watching. So this movie IS already very very good due to the fact that one can pretty easy understand what is going on on screen and there is no need to read some critics before or after watching the movie in order to get hold of some point of it. I am really delighted that this movie is good enough to recommend to watch it. Though do not expect anything light or easy, as this is not of an amusement movie's kind. 7 out of 10
