There's Still Tomorrow

“Don’t let the black-and-white aesthetic fool you into thinking "C’è ancora domani" (There’s Still Tomorrow) is a dusty relic. While it looks like a tribute to post-war Neorealism, the direction and themes are incredibly fresh and modern. Paola Cortellesi—who stars, wrote, and directed—is Italy’s beloved comedic powerhouse, making this leap into "prestige" cinema feel as significant as if Tina Fey had created a gritty, socially conscious masterpiece. The film explores a 1946 Rome that perfectly explains how Italian culture and the role of women still function today, offering a universal look at female resilience. Cortellesi masterfully balances harsh domestic realities with a contemporary energy, all leading up to a truly fantastic finale that avoids easy clichés and leaves you with so much to reflect on. It’s a stylish, revolutionary must-watch that proves the past is still very much speaking to our present.”
