A playful, high-concept spoof that frames a 1980s Romanian cop show as a genuine artifact, mining comedy from the collision between earnest Cold War aesthetics and contemporary irony.
In the 1980s, millions of Romanians tuned in to Comrade Detective, a gritty, sexy, communist buddy cop show that has now been digitally remastered and dubbed into English for the first time.
