　　An outstanding comedy whose poetic style hearkens back to the films of Wes Anderson. It tells of a youngster focused on winning the nationwide drumming championship in spite of certain obstacles – such as not having any drums! A film that is every bit as hardcore as Jimmy Page’s guitar, and every bit as endearing as Robert Plant’s waistcoats.
　　There are a lot of films that stick to the hackneyed theme of the outsider bent on fulfilling his dream in spite of all the odds – thanks to which he not only achieves his coveted success but, moreover, instils hope in the hearts of the weak and degraded through his courage and determination. But none of these films has had a protagonist as charismatic as Power – a young man obsessed with drumming drumlessly (read: steady gesticulation set to the rhythm of legendary heavy metal anthems), whose aim is to win the nationwide drumming championship, support striking miners in New Mexico and win the heart of a girl who went deaf at the age of three at a Status Quo concert. This brilliant comedy – reminiscent of the films of Wes Anderson in its fascination with bizarre twists on standard genre themes – will thrill you even if you are not a fan of 1970s hard-rock dinosaurs. But you mustn’t forget Power’s creed while you’re watching: “I don’t need drums. I am drums!"
　　About the director
　　Ari Gold received a Student Oscar in 2000 for his film Helicopter, an experimental short film in which he used authentic photography, scene reconstructions and animated sequences to tell of the tragic death of his mother. The Sundance Festival accepted Gold’s short student films for three consecutive years, and one of them – the sixty-second film Culture, which the filmmaker accompanied with a 10-point manifesto signed with the pseudonym Ari von Gold – elicited (particularly in Serbia) a wave of similar films of exactly one minute in length avowing “Dogma 99”. In addition to filmmaking, Ari Gold is also a dedicated musician – he sings in the bands The Honey Brothers and The Gold Brothers, he plays the ukulele, the piano and occasionally the drums. The film Adventures of Power is his first feature-length film.

 八十年代的上海，公交车上售票员的服务态度引起广大市民的关注和议论。小青（陈以心 饰）态度热情、尊老携幼，深得乘客称赞。而小黄（迟志强 饰）正与之相反，借囗嗓子疼，站名也不报，乘客对他意见很大。而驾驶员小洪（张明明 饰）则对交警小白（于延 平）老让她吃红灯有一肚子怨言。饭店工作的小葛（王伟平 饰）是个革新能手，他发明了报站扬声器及红绿灯自动显示装置。在改革发明中，小字辈们渐渐产生友谊，进而发展为爱情，不少人成双成对出入公园等娱乐场所，热衷发明的小葛不善于对爱慕着他的小青表达自己的感情，于是，他通过录音带传递自己无法说出口的话。小革新、小发明不仅增强了年青人热爱学习的兴趣，也让他们对未来的生活充满信心......
