The Whistlers

Compromised cop Cristi (Vlad Ivanov) came to the Canary Islands for a crash course in El Silbo-the "whistling language" of the locals, and favored by crooks who want to foil surveillance-as part of a plan to spring gangster Zsolt (Sabin Tambrea) from prison. Though kept on a short leash by Zsolt's sultry partner Gilda (Catrinel Marlon), Cristi might yet have a wild card to play. Corneliu Porumboiu's stylish neo-noir co-stars Rodica Lazar, Agustí Villaronga. 97 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Romanian; Subtitles: English. In Romanian with English subtitles.
