  • Summary: Cristi 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 be a burden on his conscience,     or face censure by his self-serious superior, for whom the word “conscience” has an entirely different meaning.

    It's not for all tastes; it requires some patience. The more your own job involves absurd, time-consuming bits of minutiae, the more familiar (and amusing) it'll seem.

    Police, Adjective may not be the film you're expecting, but it's one that will stay on your mind.

    A riveting slice of Romanian new wave drama, haunted by shadows of the Ceausescu era and never less than thought-provoking.

    The movie comes on like a put-on--next to nothing happens for an excruciatingly long time--and ends as a fascinating dialectic between following one's conscience or following the law.
