On November 13, the new film by Sophia Loren (1934), directed by her son Eduardo Ponte, will be seen on the American platform Netflix.

Thus, with the return of the great Italian star to the spotlight, the competition for the Oscar 2021 among veteran actresses intensifies. So far the list includes: Meryl Streep, Michelle Pfeiffer, Ellen Burstein and others.
Lauren previously won an Oscar for La Ciociara (directed by Vittorio de Sica) in 1962, making her the first actress to win this award for a foreign language film. He also won a nomination for the same award in 1965 for his role in the same director’s film Marriage all’italiana. And if she managed to land an award nomination for her next film, Sophia Loren would break the record Henry Fonda currently holds for the longest gap between acting nominations.
Note that in 2021, it will be 56 years since Lorraine’s last nomination. Fonda was nominated in 1941 for The Grapes of Wrath and won an Oscar in 1982 for On Golden Pond, marking a 41-year gap.
In The Life Ahead, Lauren plays a Jewish Holocaust survivor who helps raise the children of deceased prostitutes with whom she once walked the streets. He then established a lasting friendship with Momo, a 12-year-old Senegalese orphan. The long-awaited film is the second adaptation of a Roman Gary novel, after the 1977 film named after the main character starring Simon Signore.
