Opinion | Why a Black-and-White Feminist Film Was Bigger Than Barbie' in Italy
Briefly

Last summer the hot-pink feminism of Barbie took more than $1 billion at box offices worldwide. In Italy, however, Barbie was beaten by another film, a feminist dramedy with a clear nod to Italian neorealism set in postwar Rome. C'e ancora domani, or There's Still Tomorrow, was a hit at the box office and with Italian critics, who almost unanimously hailed it as a revelation.
Part of the film's success is because of the popularity of Paola Cortellesi, who co-wrote, directed and stars, and who is a beloved public figure in Italy. But another major reason the film was so successful is that it's the story of a feminism that everyone can agree on and enjoy.
