THERE'S STILL TOMORROW
[C'È ANCORA DOMANI]
A whip-smart satire and a rich, comic melodrama, THERE’S STILL TOMORROW broke box office records in Italy and inspired a national conversation about domestic violence both past and present. Writer/director Paola Cortellesi (in her directorial debut) stars as Delia, a hardworking mother of three, silently suffering at the hands of her merciless husband in post-World War II Italy. When her daughter gets engaged to a well-to-do young man, it seems like the familial cycle of oppression might be broken. But it isn’t until a mysterious letter arrives that Delia finally decides to take charge of her own life. Inspired by the classic Italian neo-realist films of the 1940s, Cortellesi navigates a tonal high wire, finding an enlightening tale of female empowerment amidst both tragedy and comedy. Winner of 6 Italian Academy Awards, including Best New Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. –Josh Gardner
