Police, Adjective
Romania 2009, 113 minutes
Dir. Corneliu Porumboiu
In Romanian with English subtitles
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama / Policier, Euro-Crime
Feat. Dragos Bucur, Vlad Ivanov, Irina Saulescu, Ion Stoica
Aroview: An ingenious, pared-back police procedural in the droll tradition of the Romanian New Wave that at once deconstructs the genre, and wittily sizes up bureaucracy, surveillance, and semantics of language in its sly critique of post-Communist society.
When a taciturn detective (Bacur) is assigned to stake out an innocuous teenage hash dealer, he searches his conscience for reasons not to apprehend the suspect, much to the annoyance of his supervising officer.

4 stars (Very Good) Chases unfold at snails pace; in place of fistfights are semantic arguments; where we expect heroics, we get a reprimand... The deliberate pace and observational remove may bore some but, if you can dig the formal irony, this is an unexpected delight. ~fairbrother
