Featured reviews
What a concept - a bunch of ex-University professors i.e. intellectual nerds - stumble upon a way to make money by inventing a new drug molecule that is not on the illegal list in Italy. Through their combined biological/historical/mathematical knowledge, they happen to make one of the most sought after 'smart drugs' on the market. But of course things get very complicated and go south very quickly.
I'll leave it at that, but you will absolutely love the ride. Again, a brilliant effort and one of the best movies I've seen in a while.
These are all the languages that I know how to say the color yellow.
It's how I felt watching every single scene of this movie. I don't think 17 words to say Yellow are enough.
Non avevo mai pensato di vedere il biondo Tevere così biondo.
Cheers.
