In this blackly humorous police drama, a cop suffers from a crisis of conscience when he is assigned to gather evidence against a college student dabbling with soft drugs. Arguing for leniency to be shown towards what he regards as youthful irresponsibility, he finds his superiors have a very different interpretation of morality and the law. A blackly humorous and intelligent satire of bureaucracy, ‘Police, Adjective’ is the acclaimed new film from the director of the award-winning ‘12:08 East of Bucharest’.
