Police, Adjective

Romania

An intriguing film. Very slow for the first hour. We follow a policeman who has been assigned to watch some teens who have been smoking pot. The film brings out the tedium in real-world police work.

The heart of the film is the interview/dialectic between the cop and his captain over whether or not they should arrest these kids. That scene was riveting and unforgettable and raised the whole project up from ho-hum to wow.

This is the latest cool effort to come from Europe's benighted backwater.
