Praga… jest nie tylko wysoce stylizowanym esejem filmowym, który dostarcza widzowi fascynację wizualną i głębokie emocje, przedstawia także debatę merytoryczną natury filozoficznej w powiązaniu ze świadomością praskiego genius loci. Biorąc za punkt wyjścia historię Pragi, rozważa dzieje i rolę człowieka w nich. Dlatego film ten do dziś inspiruje.
