Gold Coast Arts Cinema Series presents the screening of the Romanian film, “The Whistlers,” on Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2020, at 7:30 p.m. at the Great Neck Cinemas at the Squire, 115 Middle Neck Road, Great Neck, NY 11021.
From internationally acclaimed Romanian Director Corneliu Porumboiu, “The Whistlers” is a clever, swift, occasionally violent, and elegant neo-noir film, that stars Vlad Ivanov, Catrinel Marlon, and Rodica Lazar.
The film tells the story of Cristi – played by Ivanov – a police inspector who plays both sides of the law and is intent on freeing a corrupt businessman imprisoned in Romania.
Embarking with the beautiful Gilda – who is played by Marlon – on a high-stakes heist, both will have to navigate the twists and turns of corruption, treachery, and deception, including travel to the Canary Islands to learn a difficult ancient whistling language.
A highlight at the 2019 New York Film Festival, “The Whistlers,” was Romania’s official submission for International Feature Film at the 2020 Academy Awards.
Tickets for “The Whistlers” are $15 Adults/Seniors and $10 for members when purchased in advance. All tickets at the door are $20. Tickets can be ordered online at www.goldcoastarts.org or by phone at 516-829-2570.
