The Whistlers by Corneliu Porumboiu

Written by Joe D on April 6th, 2020

Here is a film worth watching, if you love Cinema. It has great acting, a clever script, looks beautiful, great editing, really interesting locations, and cool music. The thing that makes it stand out to me is what we don’t see, it just cuts from one idea to another, no boring explaining, (usually a sign of an insecure producer) no unnecessary elements that are not needed. The way this story is told is so cinematic, so artistic in it’s unfolding, I didn’t even care about the McGuffin, a bunch of money stuffed in some mattresses. It kept my attention though arabesques of creativity, to me that’s a great work of art. It can be in a genre subject, a detective story, but if it’s told in such a great way, Bravo! This is why I love the Coffin Ed /Gravedigger Jones novels of Chester Himes. They are like the solos of a genius jazz musician, flights of scintillating creativity. So Hats Off to  , you are a Cinematic Genius!
