Synopsis
There's Still Tomorrow (C'è ancora domani, 2023) is an Italian drama you can watch online on iFILM. Shot in black and white, it drops us into postwar Rome and follows a working-class woman who holds her family together while enduring a husband who treats violence as routine.
Delia (Paola Cortellesi) scrubs, mends and earns a few coins from dawn to dusk, nurses a foul-tempered father-in-law, and hopes to marry her daughter off to a decent young man. Her husband Ivano lashes out at the smallest excuse. Then a letter arrives, and for the first time Delia lets herself imagine a different kind of tomorrow. Cortellesi's directing debut keeps misdirecting you: where the story seems headed is not where it lands.
The film became a genuine phenomenon in Italy, packing theaters and outgrossing major Hollywood releases. Cortellesi handles brutal material with wit and sudden bursts of music, where blows turn, startlingly, into choreography. Stream There's Still Tomorrow (2023) online on iFILM.
