John Malkovich has transformed into Romanian conductor Sergiu Celibidache in first look images from biopic “The Yellow Tie.”
“The Yellow Tie” is part of a new spate of conductor biopics that also includes “Tar” and “Maestro.” The film, which Vmi Worldwide will introduce to buyers in Cannes, spans seven decades of Celibidache’s life, with Ben Schnetzer (“3 Body Problem”) playing the musical virtuoso in his youth as he battles personal and global instability to become the youngest ever conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and eventually one of the world’s most celebrated conductors.

If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle was the big winner at the 5th edition of Gopo Awards (Romania's film industry honours) last night, winning seven awards, including Best Film, Best Director (Florin Şerban) and Best Supporting Actress (Clara Vodă). Titus Muntean's Kino Caravan was a surprising winner of four Gopos for Best Original Music, Best Production Design, Best Costumes and Best Make-up. On the other side, Victor Rebengiuc winning Best Actor for his performance in Medal of Honor was no surprise. While Mirela Oprişor received Best Actress award, the only Gopo award for Radu Munean's Tuesday, after Christmas. George Piştereanu impressed the jury, winning the Most Promising Newcomer for his performance in If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle. Adrian Sitaru took home the award for Best Shortfilm – The Cage, and Andrei Ujică's The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceauşescu winning the Best Documentary category was not much of a surprise at all either.
