Drought is a take on humanity, picking at our core values. The players are put in a concrete space, they are powerless over the influences of ever present forces, they are bound to act in unconsciously dictated patterns. One of the players refuses to act according to the norms and thus undergoes a metamorphosis. The scenery changes surrealy. But does the man become different after changing his surroundings?

An Exercise In Nonsense
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
