I caught this movie at an Italian Film Festival this week. It's quite entertaining, it's about an Italian scientist who can't move up in corrupt Italian academia, and due to money problems he starts developing drugs. He does this because designing molecules is the only thing he knows.
As far as Drama/Comedies go, this one was quite good and quite interesting. The jokes were actually funny (the ones I actually got), the characters and their idiosyncrasies rang true (I'm an academic), for example one of the academics only wants to design drugs if they're using the very best ingredients, and there was a lot of thought to it, in how lives changed but really didn't. Each of the main characters had depth, and the story covered a lot of plot in two hours.
I sincerely recommend it.
