THE WHISTLERS - Official 2019 CIFF Selection (Clip)
A corrupt detective more than meets his match with a crime mob, an honest police officer, a femme fatale and a whistling language.
Police detective Cristi is not the most serious person in the world. However, it does not matter how much of a crime, but it does not matter how it works. Cristi soon finds out that whistling is the easy way to navigate a world of crime, fullness of money, a dreamy femme fatale and a strict police force.
Director Corneliu Porumboiu (POLICE, ADJECTIVE, CIFF 2009) incorporates his signature deadpan comedic style in THE WHISTLERS but also shifts smartly in a new direction by using a delightful crime / black genre framework. The end result is a playful film packed with cinematic references.
