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 Theres Still Tomorrow. The black and white movie about a woman stuck in an abusive marriage in post-war Italy, debuted in October 2023.
“We heard of queues outside the cinema, something that never happens," Cortellesi said. “My friends started sending me pictures from all over Italy of people queuing. I heard of sold-outs." The movie's Delia is physically assaulted by her husband but Cortellesi also brings other kinds of abuse to light — verbal, psychological and financial — and depicts how a victim is often isolated by an abuser as a way of denigrating them further.“The dynamics repeat themselves. They are the constants,” she said. “Often women do not report abuse because they are not economically independent, they would not know what to do.
