It’s as if she took a bit of comedy, a pinch of drama, and a touch of art, crafting a cinematic bombshell. Set in 1946, when Italian women finally gained the right to vote, the film refuses to leave audiences indifferent. Its narrative resonates deeply, as if every Italian sees a piece of their own family reflected within its plot, exploring poignant and topical issues surrounding the abuse of women.
Drawing from the stories of her grandmothers, Paola Cortellesi infuses the film with authenticity and depth. By choosing to set the story in the past, she sheds light on the toxic machismo still prevalent in our society. Meeting Paola feels like catching up with a long-lost friend; her shrewd wit and overwhelming authenticity infuse There’s Still Tomorrow with an unforgettable experience.
