A university researcher is fired, and recruits several colleagues to start making drugs to make a living.

Movie Talk

Smetto Quando Voglio is both a skilfully plotted farce and a penetrating satire of a society that has Latinists working as petrol-pump attendants and where out of work professors play down their academic pasts as regrettable youthful errors.

Ironically titled I Can Quit Whenever I Want, this raucous class revenge satire tracks impoverished academic eggheads collaborating in crime to survive. A dark parody of Italian bourgeois rage, in the web of the downwardly mobile EU economic disaster.

It was a bit silly, but lighthearted and enjoyable enough to watch. Also good to brush up on your Italian while having a laugh 🙂

Un film simpatico con qualcosa di particolarmente interessante. Ci sono numerosi risvolti narrativi e scelte registiche che fanno storcere un po' il naso, ma l'atmosfera generale è piacevole per un film che riesce a divertire quanto basta. Si apprezza la regia, per così dire, "spinta", sicuramente anticonvenzionale per un pubblico italiano sempre più ignorante dal punto di vista cinematografico e abituato da troppo tempo a commedie monodirezionali.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
