IMDB
If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle the first film from Florin Serban, is Romania's official selection for the Foreign Language Film category of the 2011 Academy Awards. It is a minimalistic tragic prison tale, using a cast of real convicts. For a first time actor, George Pistereanu (Silviu) performs incredibly well here. Once again cinematographer Marius Panduru, the backbone of the Romanian New Wave, deftly captures the story in his trademark style.

I saw this movie, it's pretty interesting if u like teenager's convicted drama
I have to say, really brave casting choices. It adds a layer of depth to the movie because you wonder what the actors were convicted for.
