“Fuori”, interview with actress and Shooting Star 2018 Matilda De Angelis

Italian director Mario Martone is back in Cannes’ competition with "Fuori". Last time he competed with "Nostalgia". "Fuori" stars Valeria Golino in the role of writer and author of "The Art of joy", Goliarda Sapienza along with Matilda De Angelis and Elodie in the role of two inmates the writer befriends during her brief incarceration. Based on two books by Sapienza, "L’università di Rebibbia" and "Le certezze del dubbio", the film follows Goliarda in the Rome summer of 1980, living her best life with a rediscovered freedom. Matilda De Angelis plays Roberta, a woman Goliarda meets in jail. A charming and strong character that Sapienza might have really meet  although it might also come from her imagination. De Angelis became internationally known in 2020 because of her role in the limited series "The Undoing" acting alongside  Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant. After that she has become the star of two TV series: "The Law According to Lidia Poët", on Netflix and "Citadel: Diana" on Prime Video. In 2018, she was selected to represent her country, Italy,  at the Berlinale Shooting stars. In collaboration with the European Film promotion (EFP), founder of the Shooting stars programme, we interviewed Matilda De Angelis among the 16 former Shooting Stars in the Cannes line-up this year. The EFP is a network of film institutions from 37 European countries, bringing European films and talent to the attention of the international industry and media and the Shooting stars project brings ten promising, versatile European acting newcomers to the Berlin International Film Festival each year.
