The Undoing star Matilda De Angelis on why her new film offers hope and escapism
The actress stars in the Italian Netflix movie Rose Island.
The Undoing star Matilda De Angelis has said she hopes her new movie about an engineer who plans to build his own island in the middle of the sea will offer hope and escapism during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Italian actress stars in Rose Island, based on the true story of Giorgio, an engineer who hits rock bottom and is sick of the stuffy rules of Italian society of the late 1960s, so is joined by a team of revolutionaries and outcasts to found the Republic of Rose Island.
De Angelis said he wanted to “rebuild a society based on values and our views on brotherhood and freedom”, adding: “Maybe it’s something we will have to do when this ugly, brutal crisis finishes and we will have to dream about (our future), and maybe rebuild our scale of values and rethink about what’s really important in life, and also support the environment.
“We will dream about the future one day.”
