      "Police, Adjective"

      "Romanian New Wave" is another award-winning film. As many countries in Eastern Europe after the drastic changes, Romanian films indeed represent many irreconcilable themes of the country and nation in the period of morphological transformation, as well as the chaos and the inner state of the people.

      It’s still documentary, long shots and cold satire, but this film has begun to have a rich visual sense, and the composition of fixed shots also shows a lot of texture. There is reason to...

      He tried to use "conscience" against the "system"

      "That kid's going to jail seven years for smoking a pot?"
      "We just ruined his life?"
      "I don't think it's right."
      "Sir, they're just a bunch of crazy kids."
      "I don't want to be ignorant. Arrest that child with conscience."
       
      In Romania, a secret police did not want to arrest a student with conscience, who had violated a law that he thought was about to be repealed, and tried to use "conscience" against the "system". In the second half of the film, the passage between...

      define and be defined

      On the ninth day of dark circles, Romanian director Cornelius Polanboyu's work "Police, Adjectives". A boring film about a young policeman who was caught in the entanglement of love and law in handling a case of juvenile drug abuse. In the end, the young policeman was led by the unit to do ideological work from the height of semantics and grammar and execute orders. The rhythm of the film is slow and the images are rough. It is a work that has more value in discussing...

      A dictionary and that word for a successful case

He finds that the college student just wants to buy some marijuana for a party, and Romania is about to prepare legislation to decriminalize marijuana, like most EU countries, but the bureau. Still asked to...

      In the long and restrained documentary, there are always passages like looking up a dictionary, which is a genius, and it is better to use the formal sense of reading white + paper to emphasize the...
