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
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 been to Prague and loved it (the most beautiful city in Europe). I also thrive on seeing a good romance movie. And the two main actors at least looked great.But my wife fell asleep and I stopped the movie after 20 minutes or so.Disappointing, but since there are some positive comments on this page, you might want to try it yourself - then come back here and tell us what you think, OK?
I had never heard of this movie, but since I am going to Prague this summer, I wanted to check it out. I was very surprised. This is a deep romantic movie of a woman who falls in love with a former Czech dissident writer, only to have their love tested by a family secret from the woman's past. This is an outstanding movie. Gina Gershon looks good and acts great. I highly recommend it!
