Customer Reviews of Lies and Whispers
Good storyline...slow Set in the Czech Republic, in the 1990's not long after the fall of Communism and the advent of democracy in that country.
A pretty mediocre movie starring ...as a young American psychologist writer, and her romance with Jerzy , a former Czech dissident who is going up in the world.
Things become when it is revealed that her grandfather was a Nazi architect, noted for his cruelty , who is remembered by Jerzy's father , a holocaust survivor.
The storyline is interesting and the lead actor, ..., plays a powerful part as Jerzy ,and....is also a good actresses, but the film is very dragged out in many parts , and does not quite pull together.
The devasting legacy of war crimes on a modern romance
This 1997 film is filmed almost entirely in Prague. There's beauty here, but also a rather upsetting atmosphere of the city's former history dating back to the 1930s. When an American doctor, played by Gina Gershon, goes there for a convention she meets a Czechoslovakian writer, played by Rade Serbedzha. It doesn't take long for love to blossom. But then she starts to delve into her own Czech roots. What she discovers is not pleasant to learn.
There is a big theme here about war crimes and how they affect people down through the generations. The film explores all this and gives the couple's romance a devastating twist. Gina Gershon is beautiful, and I'm glad to see that she wore glasses in most of the scenes. Rade Serbedzha is also good, and there is definitely electricity between the couple. The script is quite good too, introducing the important details at just the right pace.
But, even though there was tension, I just didn't feel it. I watched the whole thing feeling quite detached and knowing that I just wasn't getting pulled into the story. And so my recommendation for this film is only a mild one in spite of its interesting theme.
Thoughtful Romance
A definite sleeper with a wonderful performance by Rade Serbedzija of BEFORE THE RAIN. Thought provoking.
