Three years, still no rain. Rome has gone dry, and the lack of water has changed its way of life. In a city overwhelmed with thirst and restrictions, there moves a swarm of characters, young and old, successful and marginalized, victims and victimizers. Their lives are part of the same design, and they are all looking for redemption. This apocalyptic eco-drama screened at Venice.
With Hardboiled Egg (1997, Grand Jury Prize in Venice) and Kisses and Hugs (1999), PAOLO VIRZÌ established himself as one of the most talented Italian directors of his generation. The Leisure Seeker (2017), with Donald Sutherland and Helen Mirren, was screened in competition at Venice and Like Crazy (2016) in the Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes. He was twice shortlisted as Best Director by the European Film Academy and twice represented Italy at the Oscars. His latest apocalyptic eco-drama Dry was also screened at Venice.
