THERE'S STILL TOMORROW Trailer (2025) Paola Cortellesi, Valerio Mastandrea, Romana Maggiora Vergano
© 2025 - Greenwich Entertainment

Writer/director Paola Cortellesi‘s first feature film “There’s Still Tomorrow” didn’t just win six Italian Academy Awards – it also became one of the highest grossing films of all time in Italy.

Cortellesi, who cowrote the script with Furio Andreotti and Giulia Calenda, also stars in the dramedy about a woman who reclaims her life in post-war 1940s Rome.

The official synopsis reads: “Delia (Cortellesi) is a a working-class wife and mother trapped in a toxic marriage. American G.I.s still patrol the streets, but change is in the air. Yet everything remains the same for Delia, whose romantic fantasies have given way to an embrace of her roles as dutiful wife and loving mother despite the sneering condescension and outright physical abuse at the hands of her strutting petty tyrant husband Ivano (Valerio Mastandrea). His misogyny is only exceeded by his bedridden father’s whose care falls to Delia in between her myriad other chores and odd jobs. Delia sees the engagement of her daughter Marcella (Romana Maggiora Vergano) to her middle-class boyfriend as the girl’s big opportunity to avoid her same fate. But everything changes when a mysterious letter arrives and fires up Delia’s courage to turn the tables and start striving for a better life – and not just for herself.”

There's Still Tomorrow (Italian: C'è ancora domani) is a 2023 Italian period comedy-drama film, co-written and directed by Paola Cortellesi in her directorial debut.[4] Set in postwar 1940s Italy, it follows Delia breaking traditional family patterns and aspiring to a different future, after receiving a mysterious letter. It stars Cortellesi, Romana Maggiora Vergano, Emanuela Fanelli, Valerio Mastandrea, Francesco Centorame, Vinicio Marchioni and Giorgio Colangeli. There's Still Tomorrow was shot in black-and-white in the neorealist style of the 1940s and 50s.

The film won three prizes at the Rome Film Festival, the Nastro d'Argento of 2024[5] and is the most successful film at the Italian box office in 2023,[6][7] and nominally the 10th highest-grossing film in the country of all time.[8] Italian film critics praised its direction and screenplay in dealing with issues related to feminism and patriarchy, as well as the acting, particularly of Cortellesi, Fanelli and Mastandrea.[9][10] It received a leading 19 nominations at the 69th David di Donatello, and won 6 awards: Best New Director and Best Actress (for Cortellesi), Best Supporting Actress (for Fanelli), Best Original Screenplay, the David Youth Award and the David Audience Award.[11]

Plot
In post-war Rome, in May 1946, Allied military troops roam the streets in Jeeps. The city is experiencing poverty and fueled by the institutional referendum and the election of the Constituent Assembly on June 2 and 3.

A woman, Delia, is the wife of the abusive Ivano and mother of three children, including the teenage Marcella. Between domestic engagements she nurses her sullen father-in-law Ottorino and does sewing and repairs for various city stores, as well as laundry for the wealthy. The woman's friends include Nino, a car mechanic who loves her; Marisa, a market greengrocer and witty optimist; and William, an African American soldier who wants to help her.

Delia's life is happily disrupted by Marcella's engagement to Giulio Moretti, the young scion of a well-to-do family who owe their prosperity to their local ice-cream parlor. Ivano is aware of the pleasant financial gain a marriage between the two could bring. After a Sunday lunch Delia prepared for her future in-laws (and the bossy behaviour of Giulio) she realizes, that her daughter would be headed for a marriage similar to hers, with regular physical abuse and humiliation. With William's help, she blows up her future son-in-law's bar establishment so that his parents will see their wealth disappear and leave town. Marcella is devastated, but Delia knows she has done the right thing: she has decided to fight back in the face of her inferior condition thanks to the encouragement the arrival in the mail of her first voter's card represented. Delia had saved 8000 Lire from her work, hidden from her grasping husband, originally intended to buy a wedding dress for Marcella. Instead, the money will go to finance her daughter's education.

On June 2, when the time comes to vote between the monarchy and the republic and to elect the Constituent Assembly, Delia wants to participate and looks for an excuse to escape her husband-master, but the sudden death of her father-in-law complicates her life as she sees her house filled with relatives and friends. This does not prevent her from going to the polls the next day, her first experience of this alongside many other Italian women.[12] Delia unknowingly loses her card in her house before heading to the polls - it is found first by Ivano and then by Marcella, both of whom pursue Delia. Marcella gives the document to Delia and she is able to vote.

Production

Film screenwriter, director and lead actress Paola Cortellesi, in 2009.
The film was conceived by Paola Cortellesi, who co-wrote the screenplay with Furio Andreotti and Giulia Calenda,[13] based on the lives of women after the Italian campaign in World War II, inspired by the lives of Cortellesi's grandmother and great-grandmother.[14][15]

The film was produced by Mario Gianani and Lorenzo Gangarossa for Wildside and Vision Distribution.[16] The film was shot in Testaccio, Rome, with interior settings shot at Cinecittà Studios.[17][18] In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter Roma, Cortellesi explained the decision to set the film in Rome:[19]

"It was a natural decision. The story of the film is fictional, but there is a lot of my family's stories. I am half Roman and half Abruzzese. My mother came to Rome when she was six years old and spent her very early childhood here. But many of the stories I drew inspiration from are from my grandmother. It is also the reason why I imagined the work in black and white. When you are reminded of images from the past in Rome, they are never in color. The Roman courtyards where everything was put on the square. People lived together, there was no discretion, however, it was beautiful. The Rome of There's Still Tomorrow is very far from the Rome of today. [...] Social life was different. Maybe the bourgeois families were the only discreet ones. [...] and we staged a total incommunicability, which represents the difference in social class in Rome, as in the rest of Italy. Rome, however, is not just a basin. Rome is many things. There is the Rome of the center, the Rome of the well-to-do neighborhoods, then there is the popular Rome, the Rome of the suburbs, of the borgate"

Promotion and distribution
The film premiered as the opening film at the Rome Film Festival 2023, it was released in Italian theaters on October 26, 2023.[20]

Reception
Box office
There's Still Tomorrow debuted with €1.6 million on its first weekend, finishing on top of the Italian box office and marking the highest opening weekend for an Italian production in 2023.[7] The film surpassed €20 million on 23 November, becoming the highest-grossing Italian film since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic passing Il grande giorno (2022) by Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo and the highest-grossing film ever directed by a female Italian director.[21][22] With €32.4 million it became the highest-grossing film in Italy in 2023 surpassing Barbie, the most successful film of the year by number of tickets sold, and the ninth highest-grossing film ever in the country, beating Life Is Beautiful (1997) by Roberto Benigni.[23][24]

Critical response
There's Still Tomorrow has an approval rating of 100% on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 25 reviews, and an average rating of 7.6/10.[25]

The film received positive reviews from Italian and international film critics, who appreciated its direction and screenplay in addressing issues related to feminism and patriarchy, as well as the acting skills of the actors, especially Cortellesi herself, Valerio Mastandrea, and Romana Maggiora Vergano.

Paolo Mereghetti, reviewing the film for Il Corriere della Sera, wrote that Cortellesi's work is "decidedly remarkable" as the directorial choices "try to find an unobvious balance between a realistic key and a more exemplary and didactic one," finding that some solutions have "naiveté" are "a consequence of the ambition and originality put into the field." The critic claimed that the film aims to "broaden the discourse of Delia and the other women toward a dimension that is no longer just individual but finally collective and social," and that although the film deals with themes "of violence and mistreatment," the project "never shows in its stark realism."[26] Boris Sollazzo of The Hollywood Reporter Roma appreciated the director's ability to take "shots, especially the more emphatic and paroxysmal ones, in a counterintuitive way, to emphasize normality, of a walk or a fight," while the cinematography and editing come across as "as abrupt as it should be, retracing an even visual language of the time, albeit with modern faces and some directorial solutions."[27]

Alessandro De Simone of Ciak also wrote that the film sets itself on the comedy genre with a "courageous contamination between musical Italian neorealism and postmodernism" and "veering at one point almost toward giallo." The journalist noted that although it does not turn out to be all balanced, the script "brings a higher cinematic level" to the project, appreciating "the comic timing and all the performances," especially by Emanuela Fanelli, Paola Tiziana Cruciani, and "the surprise, beautiful" Romana Maggiori Vergani.[28] Dwelling on the themes addressed by the film, Luisa Garribba Rizzitelli of HuffPost italia associated it with the terms "unveiling" and "self-determination," believing that it presents "something revolutionary and full of hope" since it is not addressed "to women [...], but turning to mates, brothers, fathers, [who] can only mirror themselves in the sequence of merciless episodes: the male overpower spoiled by the privileges of the still patriarchal culture." Rizzitelli affirmed that Cortellesi "is showing them not a past time, but the mirror of what is still there today" by imposing in the film's finale "precisely on men, to decide which side they are on, determining, their position with respect to the struggles of feminism."[29]

In a four out of five star review, Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian wrote that the film is a "storytelling with terrific confidence and panache", which "pays homage to early pictures by Vittorio De Sica and Federico Fellini" through "a piece of narrative sleight-of-hand that borders on magic-neorealism, performed with shameless theatrical flair and marvellously composed in luminous monochrome".[30] Jonathan Romney of Financial Times described the film as "a thoughtful, emotionally satisfying, immensely entertaining one-off, with an ending that smartly dynamites our expectations", prizing Davide Leone cameraworks and Cortellesi direction which "pulls some clever, sometimes risky tricks, shifting between melodrama, farce and some uncomfortable heightened moments".[31] In his review, Screen International critic Allan Hunter paired the film to the classic Italian neorealism cinema, and described it as "an unashamed, old-fashioned melodrama [which] develops into a more considered tale of small victories on the road to female empowerment."[32]

Paola Cortellesi (Italian pronunciation: [ˈpaːola kortelˈleːsi, -eːzi] ⓘ; born 24 November 1973) is an Italian actress, comedian, film director, screenwriter and producer. She has starred in about 20 movies as well as a number of theatrical, television and radio shows. In 2023, she made her directorial debut with the black-and-white feminist comedy-drama There's Still Tomorrow, which received critical acclaim and became one of the highest-grossing films of all time in Italy.

Biography
Cortellesi debuted in the show business at the age of 13, as a singer for Cacao meravigliao, the jingle of the popular RAI TV show Indietro tutta! by Renzo Arbore. At 19 she began studying as an actress at the "Teatro Blu" in Rome (the same theatre school that Kim Rossi Stuart, Gianmarco Tognazzi, Claudia Gerini, Stefania Rocca, and Claudio Santamaria, among others, have attended).

She began her career in television with the show Macao,[1] presented by Alba Parietti, but eventually reached nationwide popularity as a comic actress in the TV show Mai dire Gol by the Gialappa's Band (2000), which, in particular, showcased her skills at parodying famous people, a genre where she collected some of her most appreciated performances (the latest one being her parody of Milan's mayor Letizia Moratti in the 2010–2011 edition of the popular TV show Zelig).[2]

After Mai dire Gol, Cortellesi has collaborated in several other TV Show of the Mai dire... franchise by Gialappa's Band. Other major performances of Cortellesi on television include the 2004 edition of the Sanremo Music Festival and the leading role in the TV movie Maria Montessori: Una vita per i bambini, a biography of Maria Montessori, for which Cortellesi received the "Maximo Award" at the Roma Fiction Fest.[3]

Her career in cinema includes several appreciated performances in comedies and comic movies, including a leading role in Tu la conosci Claudia?, a very popular production starring the comic trio Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo. In 2008, she was nominated for the David di Donatello award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the movie Piano, solo by Riccardo Milani. In 2011 she won the David di Donatello for Best Actress for her leading role in Escort in Love.[4]

One of her most appreciated theatrical performances was Gli ultimi saranno gli ultimi ("Last will be last") by Massimiliano Bruno, which has been staged 189 times from 2005 to 2007 in over 50 theatres, and for which Cortellesi has collected a number of awards.[5]

As a singer, Cortellesi has been described by Mina as "one of the best Italian voices"[6] and has cooperated with several notable Italian musicians, including Elio e le Storie Tese, Renato Zero, Claudio Baglioni, Frankie Hi-NRG MC, and Neri per Caso. In 2019 she was filmed in the title role of Petra for the four-part Italian TV crime drama, broadcast from September 2020.[7]

In 2023 her directorial debut There's Still Tomorrow (C'è ancora domani) was a major hit. It was the most successful film at the Italian box office in 2023,[8][9][10][11] and the 10th highest-grossing film in the country's history.[12] It was the opening film at the Rome Film Festival,[13] at the 69th David di Donatello it brought Cortellesi 6 awards, including the Best Actress and Best Original Screenplay.[14]

Personal life
Cortellesi married director Riccardo Milani on 1 October 2011, after being engaged for nine years.[15] The couple have a daughter, Laura, born in 2013.[16]

2024 in film is an overview of events, including award ceremonies, festivals, a list of country- and genre-specific lists of films, and notable deaths. Columbia Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) celebrated their 100th anniversaries; Toei Company celebrated its 75th anniversary; DreamWorks Pictures and DreamWorks Animation celebrated their 30th anniversaries; and the first Mickey Mouse films, including Steamboat Willie (1928), entered the public domain this year. Alongside new releases, multiple popular films like The Lion King (1994), Les Misérables (2012), Alien (1979), all eight live-action Spider-Man films, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999), Whiplash (2014), The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), Shrek 2 (2004), Twister (1996), Coraline (2009), The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), Hocus Pocus (1993), Interstellar (2014) and Tenet (2020) were re-released to either celebrate their anniversaries or fill in the gaps left by films that had their original release dates affected by the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes.
