- 1990
In this earnest docudrama, ten episodes depicting the suffering arising out of drug-use are shown. In one story, a pharmacist working an overnight shift helps a boy through drug withdrawal. In another, a mother whose daughter is now free of drugs gives her a pair of valuable coral earrings as a celebratory gift. In another, an newborn is shown suffering from withdrawal: his mother was addicted throughout her pregnancy. Each scene illustrates some aspect of the travails of drug addiction, but never simplistically blames the victims alone for their plight. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

- 1996
A college graduate looks for work in this low-budget but dead-on Italian comedy. Sergio is proud of his shiny new degree in agronomy and is anxious to put it -- and his theories on growing crops in arid areas -- to good use. To this end, he purchases a copy of "The Practical Guide to Finding Work," an extremely upbeat guide (passages are narrated during the action) that tells him how to pen a resumé, gives him interviewing techniques, and offers many other useful tips. The book works, and Sergio finds himself in line for a plum job in Africa. Unfortunately, before he can go, he must surmount a few obstacles, including his ex-girlfriend Rita and his womanizing, lazy roommate Enzo. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
