About Paolo Virzì
Paolo Virzì (Italian pronunciation: [ˈpaːolo virˈdzi]; born 4 March 1964) is an Italian film director, writer and producer. Virzì's first feature film stars Sabrina Ferilli and Massimo Ghini, and tells the story of a love triangle set against the backdrop of the irreversible identity crisis of the Italian working class. Ferie d'agosto won the David Award for Best Film of the year. The lead role is played by Edoardo Gabbriellini, one of the new Italian film talents discovered by Virzi. Despite its strong ties to local accents and lifestyle, Ovosodo received wide acclaim from critics and audiences alike: the jury of the Venice International Film Festival presided over by Jane Campion, awarded Paolo Virzì the Jury Grand Prix.
