The Whistlers, Glasgow Film Festival 2020
27 – 28 February, 2020
Director Corneliu Porumboiu moves into film noir territory with the tough, twisty, double-dealing thriller The Whistlers. Corrupt cop Cristi (Vlad Ivanov) is a member of a Bucharest crime syndicate. He travels to the Canary Island of La Gomera as part of a plan to free a Bucharest businessman who might be the key to uncovering millions in hidden cash. Cristi is taught the art of Silbo, the secret whistling language used by shepherds that sounds like birdsong. Constantly under surveillance, never sure who he can trust, Cristi is a marked man whichever way he turns.
