Police, Adjective

Film shoot not only in Hollywood but want to watch not only blockbusters. This simple idea we would like to convey to our viewers and readers. Therefore, we periodically place the trailers for films that are not removed in Hollywood, not in Europe and not in Russia. This time we caught trailer Romanian film “The policeman, adjective» (Police, Adjective).

«Police, Adjective» – this absurdist tragi-comedy in the spirit of Jim Jarmusch, filmed by the Romanian director Corneliu Porumboyyu. A film about the moral dilemma faced by the police Christie, who works in the department of drug small provincial town. He tracked down the teenager, who sells marijuana to their classmates. The boy must respond to the full extent of the law, but a matter of dealing with student Christie sorry suspect – if the dealer gets juvenile prison, his life can put a cross. Conscientious police officer violates the order and tries to find clues in order to make the arrest. If you find at least some mitigating circumstances, the entire course of the investigation will be to turn the other way, to save the young offender from prison. But police chiefs have a different opinion.

Eastern Europe is very close to Russia. And although they say the movie is not in Russian, but the whole picture is like ours, dear, post-Soviet. And the manners and life of the local police are very similar to ours. The film is worth seeing just to compare and find similarities and differences. Also – a simple and touching movie about people. Corneliu Porumboyyu generally a favorite of Cannes and received a palm branch in his debut film. However, a simple movie with kinoakademikov cheychas not be respected. This year the Police, the adjective “participated in a parallel competition” Un Certain Regard “at Cannes, and received only a consolation prize of the jury. And the grand prize went absolutely shizoydnoy Greek painting “Canine» (Dogtooth). About crazy semeika of parents and three children, who all his life do not leave the limits of his house and garden. Such postglamurnaya Nigella jury liked more than just a Romanian film.
