“GRADE: A! Mesmerizing. I left the theater shaken.”
–Scott Tobias, Onion AV Club
“4 STARS! Above all else, see "Collapse"!”
–Roger Ebert on Twitter
A former Los Angeles police officer turned independent reporter, Michael Ruppert predicted the current financial crisis at a time when most Wall Street analysts were still in denial. In this new film from Chris Smith, Ruppert recounts his career as a radical thinker and spells out the crises he sees ahead. He portrays a future that resembles apocalyptic science fiction. Listening to his rapid flow of opinions, the viewer is likely to question some of the rhetoric as paranoid or deluded; and to sway back and forth on what to make of the extremism. Smith lets viewers form their own judgments.

Police, Adjective
“4 STARS! A brilliant black comedy!”
–Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
“More evidence of the remarkable recent renaissance in Romanian cinema.”
–Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Cristi is a policeman who refuses to arrest a young man who offers hash to two of his school mates, an offense punishable by current law. Cristi believes that the law will change soon, and he does not want the life of this young man to be a burden on his conscience. For his superior the word conscience has an entirely different meaning…
