If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle

Romanian filmmaker Florin Serban's compelling spin on the "juvenile delinquent" drama follows teenager Silviu, an inmate two weeks away from release from a corrupt juvenile detention facility. The arrival of a pretty student interviewer and the news that his estranged mother has come─not to see him, but to take his younger brother with her to live in Italy─drive Silviu to a desperate act. George Pistereanu, Ada Condeescu star. 94 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Romanian; Subtitles: English; bonus short "Kiss" (2009). In Romanian with English subtitles.
