I’ve had to face the fact; I’ve had a little “girl crush” on Jasmine Trinca for a while now. Ever since Nanni Moretti put her in his award-winning La Stanza Del Figlio (she won the Guglielmo Biraghi prize as best new talent of the year after that) she has been electrifying in everything she’s been in with a rare and tender authenticity that is especially surprising given that she’s never studied acting.
For a 32-year-old, her career is already full of extraordinary performances in some of the best movies of the millennium. Most recently, she’s starred in two movies that have been making the rounds in the US, Miele, about an assisted suicide advocate and Un Giorno Devi Andare, about a young woman who tries to forget a tragedy by volunteering in the Amazon.
Jasmine Trinca talks about making Miele.

She played the practically catatonic mental patient in ABSOLUTELY MUST SEE La Meglio Gioventù and will soon be seen in the highly anticipated Meraviglioso Boccaccio, from the Taviani Brothers, also starring Riccardo Scamarcio, Kim Rossi Stuart, Paola Cortellesi, and Flavio Parenti.
