Interview during the 81st edition of Venice International Film Festival with Sophie Wilde, actress in “Babygirl“. The movie, in competition for the Golden Lion, tells the story of a businesswoman – played by Nicole Kidman– that starts a relationship submission with an intern, played by Harris Dickinson. Sophie Wilde plays one of Kidman’s colleagues at work, that warns her about this situation.

Our interview with Sophie Wilde addresses the presence of the film in Venice and how was it shooting such powerful scenes alongside Nicole Kidman. She also talks to FRED about the momentum of her career: she has starred in Danny Philipou and Michael Philipou‘s “Talk to me” and the miniseries “Tom Jones“.

As we explained, in “Babygirl” a high-power CEO puts her career and family at risk when she begins this torrid affair with her newest intern. Her marriage to a successful theatre director (Antonio Banderas) is at stake. Sophie Wilde discusses how much sacrifice women in power must endure in order to maintain their jobs and fulfill their wishes.

Plot

A high-powered CEO puts her career and family on the line when she begins a torrid affair with her much younger intern. The affair at the heart of "Babygirl" allows Romy and Samuel to play out their confusion around power, gender, age, hierarchy, and primal instinct. Despite its forbidden nature, the joy of that exploration is liberating, even healing.
