Release
The film premiered out of competition at the 18th Rome Film Festival. It was released in Italian cinemas on 16 November 2023.[2]
Reception
The film grossed 2 million euros at the Italian box office.[3] For his performance, Albanese received David di Donatello and Nastro d'Argento nominations for best actor.[4][5]
Paolo Baldini of Corriere della Sera called the film "a blade in the collective consciousness", praising the courage shown by Albanese "to be able to put aside his enormous television popularity", in order to try his hand at "a socially critical, passionate cinema".[6] According to Il Giornale film critic Pedro Armocida, "A Hundred Sundays is a dry, essential, sober, sharp and fierce film. But, above all, it is a respectable film, like its main character, at a time when this adjective does not necessarily seem to be a value".[7]
