My Take

Chiara Caselli embodies the intelligent glamour I associate with the best of Italian cinema. The Bologna-born actress swept both the Nastro d'Argento and David di Donatello for Best Actress in 1994, then crossed over into American film opposite River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves in My Own Private Idaho and later John Malkovich in Ripley's Game. What draws me to her is the range beyond acting: she also directs and works as a photographer. People who have stood on both sides of the lens tend to carry a richer, more observant gaze, and Caselli's multi-disciplinary curiosity makes her exactly the kind of layered artist I find endlessly compelling.

Overview

Chiara Caselli (born 22 December 1967) is an Italian actress. In 1994, Caselli won the Nastro d'Argento for Best Actress award for her role in Where are You? I'm Here as well as the David di Donatello for Best Actress award. Caselli has appeared in American films including My Own Private Idaho opposite River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves.
