Very neat film with consistent tone, not too fast not too slow, it exploits its resources very well. There are not too many locations and all of them are very well chosen and filmed, mostly the remore island of La Gomera and Bucharest. Scenes never drag, there's very neat dialogue as well. It does a lot with just enough, the main character is a man of few words but everything is understood and I rooted for him. Very elegant film, if anything a bit too orderly, meeting all the requirements of the genre as a well-applied applicant. It joins the trend of narrative in closed chapters and it works great, again, very elegant and orderly. The lead female is an absolute beauty, as should be the case in any self-respecting neo-noir. And there's the whistling thing which is awesome, that alone gives something special to the story, a pretty cool touch, yearning like a fairy tale, or maybe more like an opera.
Good stuff, perfect gem of a movie, ideal for an evening when you don't know what movie you want to watch.
