Italian director and actress Paola Cortellesi poses for a photograph during an interview in London, Monday, April 22, 2024. Paola Cortellesi is a staple of Italian pop culture known for her work in front of the camera and her talent as a comedian. Recently she took on a new challenge, directing her first feature movie titled “There’s Still Tomorrow”. The black and white movie about a woman stuck in an abusive marriage in post-war Italy, debuted in October 2023.
But there was something especially captivating in the drama unfolding on the screen between Delia — the main character in “There’s Still Tomorrow,” played by Cortellesi — and that of her husband Ivano, played by Valerio Mastandrea. “They wanted to talk, to tell me a little about the story that had touched them and how this story could be about them,” she said.
It is the contemporary parallels of this tragedy that Cortellesi believes made the movie a success. A woman in an abusive relationship could maybe consider running away from this situation, but it’s not easy, especially if she has children.She says not only women but men, too, respond to her movie. On the day of its release in Italy, Cortellesi recounts how she was greeting the audience after a later showing and met an older man in the crowd.
