Fluency in Romanian isnt a prerequisite for appreciating the nimble wordplay of Police, Adjective; the calibrated cadences and obvious ironies are unerringly universal. This exhilaratingly deliberate police procedural from 12:08 East of Bucharest writer/director Corneliu Porumboiu follows undercover cop Cristi (Dragos Bucur) as he trails a teen (Victor) suspected of possessing and maybe trafficking in hashish. His superiors demand Cristi make the bust, but hes reluctant to ruin a young life without solid proof.
