Synopsis: A double prize-winner at Cannes, Police, Adjective is the latest whip-smart comedic masterpiece from internationally acclaimed Romanian auteur Corneliu Porumboiu (12:08 East of Bucharest).
Cristi (Dragos Bucur) is a young undercover cop who undergoes a crisis of conscience when he is pressured to arrest a teenager who offers hash to classmates. Not wanting to ruin the life of a young man he considers merely irresponsible, Cristi must either allow the arrest to weigh on his conscience, or face censure by his self-serious superior (Vlad Ivanov, of 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days), for whom the word "conscience" has an entirely different meaning. Porumboiu approaches his story with the exacting patience of a master ironist, culminating in one of the most unexpected comedic payoffs in years - an extraordinary dissection of language that affirms his reputation as one of the most exciting new talents in European cinema.
