The comedic drama There’s Still Tomorrow has become a cultural phenomenon, sparking debate about men killing women.
It’s the Italian film that has sparked debate about domestic violence and the epidemic of men killing women in its home country. Despite being a period film shot in black and white,That surprised even Paola Cortellesi, a popular comic actress who co-wrote, directs and stars in the film.
That success reflects the humour and warm heart of a comic drama about a downtrodden woman, Delia , living in Rome just after World War II, that was shot to look like black and white classics of Italian neorealism such asMarried to abusive husband Ivano , Delia works at menial part-time jobs while looking after her three ungrateful children and misogynist bedridden father-in-law.
“But I was convinced it could be a popular film because of the humour. I was convinced but, for a long time, I was the only one convinced.”Cortellessi says the film has encouraged audience members to reveal their emotional stories in Q&A sessions. “A man in Turin told me in front of hundreds of people in the cinema, ‘I used to be one of those kids. Our parents told us to go into room, but we heard them fighting’. That was very moving,” she says.
