Discover yet another fascinating slice of Romanian new wave from director Corneliu Porumboiu ahead of the release of his brand new film on 8 May, 'The Whistlers'.
Cristi is a policeman who suffers from a crisis of conscience when he is assigned to gather evidence against a college student dabbling with soft drugs. Arguing for leniency to be shown towards what he regards as youthful irresponsibility, he finds his superiors have a very different interpretation of morality and the law.
'Police, Adjective' is an intelligent, fascinating satire of bureaucracy.
