San Diego Italian Film Festival Presents: "Siccità" (Dry), Directed by Paolo Virzi An imagined three-year drought serves as the point of departure for the latest by Paolo Virzì, a satirical ensemble drama that features a top-notch cast and a clever way with social critique. Set in Rome, Dry follows a constellation of self-absorbed characters as the drought and subsequent water shortage take their toll on the city’s population, exacerbating socioeconomic tensions and perhaps suggesting the imminent end of days. Virzì slyly observes these sometimes likable, sometimes repellent people, giving a wryly ironic film about the post-Covid world and the vanity of humans in the face of global catastrophe.
