It's Happening Tomorrow (Domani accadrà)
"Debutant helmer Daniele Luchetti and his patron Nanni Moretti hit paydirt in It's Happening Tomorrow, a captivating neo-Western comedy showing every sign of being the discovery of the year. Simplicity and originality are the key ingredients in this offbeat film, tracing the Jules Verne-type adventures of two Italian cowboys in the last century... Italo audiences have shown their appreciation of this intelligent, offbeat work, lensed without stars or a big budget." (Deborah Young, Variety) A note from the director: "It's Happening Tomorrow is a fable from the Maremma region of Tuscany and a philosophical Western. I tried, in my first film, to find an as-yet-unseen setting for Italian cinema, an original story and, in some cases, new actors; but above all a new spirit: characters treated not with the traditional cynicism, but with affection that is given to all figures in the story without discrimination, with realism tempered by irony and a sense of wonder. The film is meant to be a eulogy to ingenuity, to optimism, and to those-educated people and philosophers, cowboys and brigands-who have plunged into the future with the desire to discover and with the unlimited optimism of those who have faith in tomorrow."
