A newly minted masterpiece from internationally acclaimed director Corneliu Porumboiu (12:08 EAST OF BUCHAREST). A double prize winner at Cannes, POLICE, ADJECTIVE is the new whip-smart, dryly funny comedy from Romania's official entry to the 2009 Academy Awards®.

Cristi (Dragos Bucur) 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 superior (Vlad Ivanov of 4 MONTHS, 3 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS), for whom the word "conscience” has an entirely different meaning.

Porumboiu approaches his story with the exacting patience of a master ironist, culminating in one of the most unexpected comedic payoffs in years, – an extraordinary dissection of language that affirms his reputation as one of the most exciting new talents in European cinema.
