There’s Still Tomorrow broke box-office records in Italy, beating Barbie and Oppenheimer for excellent reason. Writer, actor, and director Paola Cortellesi blends humour with charm, and drama with social history, creating a small modern-day masterpiece. Its themes are very contemporary while drawing on the rich wealth of Italian cinema history. It is 1946 in Rome and we follow Delia, a woman who cares for everybody: her children, her ailing father-in-law and her rough, violent husband. Delia somehow continues to dream and remain upbeat while working multiple jobs and fulfilling everyone’s expectations but her own. But
in post-war Italy, Delia senses
that change is in the air. She will seize the day for herself and for her daughter’s future. The mix
of drama and effervescent levity has had a huge resonance in Italy. There’s Still Tomorrow is a film that, in style and intent, could only
come from Italy, reminding us of the power, beauty and potential of cinema.
