For a film about linguistic integrity, there are very few verbal exchanges in Police, Adjective. It is a satire so dry that it feels like someone trying to recite "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" while sucking dried chickpea powder. It is only funny when there is a dialogue - and it is hilarious at that. At other times, it is a true test of one's patience - think of Gus Van Sant's recent cinematic wank-offs set in a cold, wet Romanian town.
