    A Filmic Potpourri

    Who knew there was a “Rumanian New Wave”? Well, there is, apparently, and surfing it is 34-year-old director Cornelieu Porumboiu. His Police, Adjective has received rave reviews from critics world-wide, two prestigious awards at Cannes, and the much-sought but elusive “buzz” among film buffs.

    Described as a “black comedy,” Police, Adjective concerns a young policeman assigned to investigate the relatively minor case of three high school kids who are suspected of smoking and selling hashish. His sense of justice is evoked when he realizes that the punishment, if the kids are arrested, is likely to be far more “than fits the crime” under Draconian Rumanian law.

    But this film is not in any way a traditional thriller, but more an exercise in philosophical and etymology, as the policeman engages in debates with his wife, and ultimately his superior, about what words mean and when.

    Again, thanks are due to the Arts & Education Council for bringing in yet another superb work that would not be seen in Chattanooga without the Independent Film Series. See this one while it’s here at the Majestic through March 25.
