			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Romanian film called <strong>Politist, adj.</strong>, easy to watch from my part since I am also Romanian. Directed by <strong>Corneliu Porumboiu</strong>, the story of a young policeman who&#8217;s got a big dilemma: should he arrest or not a young man (high-school age) who&#8217;s smoking &#8220;pot&#8221; and also offering to 2 of his closest friends.</p>
<p>The policeman is certain it&#8217;s not the kid who&#8217;s dealing the actual drugs, so he&#8217;d like to go after the source, more than the kid. He&#8217;s also recently married and had visited Prague with his wife. The &#8220;pot&#8221; is legal there and he hopes Romania will become more relaxed with the law too. Till then, there&#8217;s a big question for him: do I bust the kid or not?</p>
<p>The entire movie is slow-paced following the main character to work, back home, on the streets, in his boss&#8217; office and so on. To me it was way too &#8220;slow&#8221; and dark. I understand this new wave of &#8220;social movies&#8221;, but I am firm believer our movie-creators have gone too far with these movies. I can&#8217;t remember a &#8220;relaxing&#8221; movie they created, all are &#8220;hard and dark&#8221;. If you&#8217;re not having a very dark setting, then you&#8217;re having some rapes, murders, anything similar filmed to the best details. It&#8217;s good to see in a movie, if 90% of them deal with the Communism, crimes and rapes, you&#8217;re getting a bit tired of the recipe.</p>
<p>What I like about the movie is that you&#8217;re not dealing with the usual forced sex scene you kinda see in most of our latest movies and, even if it&#8217;s still dark and somber, the movie doesn&#8217;t put a lot  of emphasis on this &#8220;misery&#8221;. Kinda boring at some point, trying to go way to deep into his normal routine, with interesting dialogues (in some parts) and an overall challenging moral dilemma.</p>
<p>Cannot say the movie is a fiasco, even if I haven&#8217;t enjoyed it too much. Would I recommend it? I think I would. It does have some interesting points and it&#8217;s not difficult to watch. Lacking some &#8220;hardcore&#8221; scenes, the movie can be seen even with your entire family, with no fear your kids might be scarred by some of the images. Would I see it again? I am afraid not.</p>
