Romanian policier revolving around, in fact never abandoning for a single scene, a droopy narc (Dragos Bucur) reluctant to bust an adolescent casual user. The long takes and solid frames have much integrity and almost as much tedium; the dismal locales are for better or worse completely immersing; and the climax, a lengthy lesson in semantics from the policeman’s haughty superior, is one of a kind. Written and directed by Corneliu Porumboiu. (2009) — Duncan Shepherd
