There’s Still Tomorrow broke box-office records in Italy, beating Barbie and Oppenheimer for excellent reason.
Writer, Director and Actor, Paola Cortellesi blends humour with charm, and drama with social history, creating a small odern-day masterpiece. It’s themes are very contemporary while drawing on the rich wealth of Italian cinematic history.
All Delia has ever wanted is to be a wife and mother. She lives in Rome in the late 1940s – a city divided between the positive thrust of liberation and the miseries of the war that has just ended – with her husband, Ivano, and their three children. Ivano may be a harsh master; his father even more so. However, Delia has a best friend with whom to share moments of levity, and her daughter is about to get married. She accepts her fate – the good with the bad – until a mysterious letter arrives.
Fun and filled with interesting directorial choices from an extremely clever director matched by a perfect cast: one of the best films of the year in Italian cinema.
