Smetto Quando Voglio	comment	Smetto Quando Voglio is the first movie of the italian director Sidney Sibilia. It came out in 2014 and the first in the "Smetto Quando Voglio" trilogy, followed by Smetto Quando Voglio Masterclass in 2017 and Smetto Quando Voglio Ad Honorem in the same year.It follows the story of Pietro Zinni (Edoardo Leo), an Italian neurobiologist who suddenly finds himself without a job. Tricked by one of the students he tutors into trying a drug, he gets the idea of using his competence to produce and sell a technically legal one. To do that, he gets the help from his chemist friend Alberto Petrelli (Stefano Fresi) to produce it, the latinists Mattia Argeri (Valerio Aprea) and Giorgio Sironi (Lorenzo Lavia) for the location, the anthropologist Andrea De Sanctis (Pietro Sermonti) to blend in, the archaeologist Arturo Frantini (Paolo Calabresi) for the distribution, the economist Bartolomeo Bonello (Libero De Rienzo) for the economical issues.Things go well for a while. Then Alberto gets addicted to the very drug they are making, Giulia, Pietro's girlfriend who works in a rehab center for drug-addicts finds out about them and is not too pleased about it, and the resident criminal lord, Er Murena (the Moray) gets annoyed by their sudden expansion.The movie is notable for its peculiar photography, its component of social criticism, and a very unusual sense of humor for an Italian movie.

Smetto Quando Voglio / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: Three of them, the "number zero" pill, Bartolomeo's wedding and the father of one of Pietro's students having a catering agency. [[spoilers: All of them end up being instrumental in Pietro's last plan and Murena's downfall].

Smetto Quando Voglio / int_2a090d00	type	Lampshade Hanging
Smetto Quando Voglio / int_2a090d00	comment	Lampshade Hanging: At one point, the cast has to get firearms to rob a pharmacy. When Arturo gives them bayonets and firearms from the nineteenth century, they wonder why everything they do must be so surreal. While threathened by Murena's men, Bartolomeo can't keep a straight face since they like they've seen too many gangster movies. Look below to see how it turned out. In the climax, Pietro uses his knowledge to prepare something to erase the cashier's memory. Bartolomeo gushes and asks if he's the only one to understand how awesome that is.

Smetto Quando Voglio / int_47fea76b	comment	Butt-Monkey: Bartolomeo is the one getting beaten as a warning by Murena's men, and the one forced to marry (well, forced to uphold his promise, but still). He exagerates it by saying he's the only one that has to pay, although that isn't true. He's also the only one shown as quite unsuccesfull during his introduction.

Smetto Quando Voglio / int_6439de78	comment	Heroic Sacrifice: A non-lethal variant, Pietro goes to jail bringin Murena with him in order to have no charges held against his friends. The sequel reveals it all to be pointless, since it only covered the smart-drug dealing thing, but not the attempted robbery and kidnapping they resort to afterwards.

Smetto Quando Voglio / int_805deb6e	comment	Small Role, Big Impact: Pietro's professors appears only in a couple of scenes in the beginning, and briefly in the second act to show how the tables have turned. His meddling with politics and unprofessional approach to his job cause Pietro to lose his, setting the whole plot in motion. Oh boy, Pietro's student. He tricks him into drinking a drug, giving him the idea to make money by producing a new, legal one and plays a vital role in Murena's capture. Bartolomeo's girlfriend has exactly three scenes. She gaves them the money to start their operations and her wedding with Bartolomeo gives is instrumental in Murena's capture.

Taken further in the sequel, when we find out they are also under trial for robbing a pharmacy and shooting the cashier.

Smetto Quando Voglio / int_a435b45e	comment	Bitter Sweet Ending: Pietro is in jail, away from Giulia and the child, but his job there gives him the money they need (to the point being released early ends up being a worst-case scenario), his friends are free from all charges but Mattia and Giorgio are trapped in a bad job once again to pay their colossal debts, Alberto is in rehab, and while Andrea and Arturo are back to their older life, those lives still sucks. Turned into a Downer Ending in the sequel, when we find out they all ended up under trial for the attempted robbery and kidnapping. We also find out that actually nine months passed between the last two scenes, and they are all in jail and framed to be found guilty of some other charges.

The sequel reveals that he's in jail because Vittorio didn't do his job, adding a whole new layer to that discussion.
