Police, Adjective
2009. Romania. Written and directed by Corneliu Porumboiu. With Dragos Bucur, Vlad Ivanov, George Remes. Winner of the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, Porumboiu’s Police, Adjective offers further evidence that Romania is producing some of the most brilliant, cleverly subversive, and exquisitely crafted films in the world these days. A policeman’s seemingly pointless stakeout of three dope-smoking teenagers evolves into an absurdist Socratic debate on law, ethics, epistemology, and the slipperiness of language. Romanian; English subtitles. 115 min.
In the Film exhibition The Contenders, 2009
