Вчера, сегодня, завтра (1963)

"Ieri oggi domani" (Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow) is a 1963 Italian comedy-drama film directed by Vittorio De Sica. The film features three separate stories of love and lust in Italy, each starring legendary actress Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni. The film also stars Aldo Giuffrè, Agostino Salvietti, Lino Mattera, Tecla Scarano, Silvia Monelli, Carlo Croccolo, and Pasquale Cennamo. The first story follows Loren and Mastroianni as a wealthy couple who have grown tired of their lavish lifestyle. The couple engages in playful games and sexual escapades, but their relationship is tested when Loren is faced with unexpected pregnancy. The second story features Loren as an alluring woman who works in a brothel. Mastroianni plays a client who becomes infatuated with Loren and tries to win her love. The final story sees Loren as a feisty pizza seller who is pursued by Mastroianni, a married man who is infatuated with her. Despite their mutual attraction, Loren resists Mastroianni's advances until fate intervenes. "Ieri oggi domani" is a classic example of Italian neorealism, a film movement that emerged in the late 1940s and emphasized realistic and authentic storytelling. De Sica is one of the leading figures of neorealism, and the film showcases his signature style of blending humor and drama. The film won the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar at the 37th Academy Awards and is considered one of the greatest Italian films of all time.
