The Day Before Yesterday

About This Movie

The Day Before Yesterday presents a haunting look into the lives of five women who navigate the oppressive atmosphere of fascist Italy. It captures a time where being a lesbian was not just stigmatized but almost unspeakable. The pacing is slow, allowing the weight of their stories to settle in, which feels true to the heaviness of their experiences. The documentary is raw and unfiltered, emphasizing the stark realities these women faced. The performances, though not theatrical, are deeply personal and impactful. It’s a poignant exploration of identity and resistance, and the practical effects are minimal, relying largely on the power of the women's narratives. There's something distinctly powerful about hearing these voices that history often tries to silence.
