There is Still Tomorrow: The film which beat Barbie at the box office in Italy 😱🔥

Greta Gerwig's Barbie may be the most financially successful movie ever to be directed by a female filmmaker, and the highest-grossing film of 2023. But it was beaten at the box office in Italy by another film, also made by a woman and speaking directly about the female experience.There's Still Tomorrow (Ce Ancora Domani), by 50-year-old actress, writer and singer Paola Cortellesi, is now being released across Europe, including the UK. It became a phenomenon in Italy last year, taking more money than both Barbie and Oppenheimer.As of last month, it had made around £31 Million in cinemas, was the country biggest film of 2023, and the most successful film ever directed by an Italian woman.Cortellesi tells that she still can't quite believe its success.

The story resonates with contemporary Italian audiences.According to recent police statistics, 120 women were murdered in Italy in 2023, about one every three days. The report said just over 50% of them were killed by partners or ex-partners. A quarter of them were killed by their children,in 89% of those cases, their son.The issue of femicide erupted in Italy in November 2023, a few weeks after the release of There's Still Tomorrow. Mass protests were held over the killing of 22-year-old university student Giulia Cecchettin, allegedly murdered by her ex-boyfriend, who is awaiting trial.Her funeral was attended by thousands of people and her death triggered major protests and calls for more protection for women.

Cortellesi says that her film partly attempts to explore a cultural mentality that she argues, has been going on for millennia.. She says that the themes of violence against women has been part of her scriptwriting for years, as well as in her stage and screen work as an actor, although she says she hasn't personally experienced it herself.

Here is trailer:

A clear mention that it broke the boxel office records of Barbie and oppenheimer in Italy not in whole word as figures say that it scored a whopping $36 million, landing the No. 1 spot and beating Barbie which, at No. 2, pulled roughly $35 million. Oppenheimer, in the third spot, took in $30 million at Italian cinemas.

A great concept about Women being oppressed in society and raising awareness about that . indeed, Everyone has rights and we should all respect that .I am just shocked by women murders report which came in 2023 like one women murdered in 03 days.Hats off for Cortellesi For making it a beautiful masterpiece.I am gonna watch it soon or this weekend.
