BIOGRAPHY OF ASIA SILVER
Actress and director. Daughter of the master of horror Dario Argento and actress Daria Nicolodi, she decided from an early age to follow in her parents’ footsteps. In fact, he began his career in acting but later he will also come to try his hand behind the camera. He worked for the first time in 1984, at the age of nine, for the TV film ‘Dreams and needs’ by Sergio Citti. Four years later she made her debut on the big screen, already as a protagonist, in the film directed by Cristina Comencini ‘Zoo’ and in 1989 Nanni Moretti chose her to play his daughter in ‘Palombella Rossa’. In the same year he began working with his father in ‘The church’ written and produced only by him and directed by Michele Soavi instead. In 1992 she is highly acclaimed by critics for Michele Placido’s ‘Friends of the heart’ in which she plays a young woman forced to suffer the abuse of an incestuous father. The following year she is directed by her father in ‘Trauma’ of which she is the protagonist. In 1994 she received her first awards, a David di Donatello and a Ciack d’Oro, for her interpretation in the role of a paraplegic girl in ‘Let’s lose sight’ by Carlo Verdone. Two years after the first, Asia gets the second David for her portrayal of Cora, a woman tasked with stalking an elderly and bewildered wanderer through Italy in Peter Del Monte’s Traveling Companion. Also in 1996 he worked for the second time under the direction of his father in ‘The syndrome of Stendhal’. She then falls in 1997 in the role of a shrewd robber in Giovanni Veronesi’s film ‘Viola kisses everyone’ while the following year she is directed by her father for the third time in ‘The Phantom of the Opera’. Later Asia begins to work with international directors, starting with the film ‘New Rose Hotel’ by Abel Ferrara, in which she plays a double-agent prostitute. He then also worked in France in 2000 for yet another edition of ‘I miserabili’ directed by Josée Dayan, in the role of the unfortunate Eponine. He also arrives in Hollywood to star in 2002 in Rob Cohen’s action film ‘xXx’ alongside Vin Diesel, in 2005 in Gorge A. Romero’s horror ‘The Land of the Living Dead’ and in 2006 as Madame Du Barry in ‘Marie Antoinette’ by Sophia Coppola. With the new millennium, Asia decides to go behind the camera to direct two feature films. The first, ‘Scarlet diva’ (2000) in which she tells the story of Anna, a very successful actress who nevertheless lives in desperate loneliness. Four years later he directs and stars ‘Deceptive is the heart more than anything’, based on the autobiographical stories of the writer JT Leroy, in which many international actors such as Ornella Muti, Michael Pitt, Winona Rider and, for the first time on screen, participate the ambiguous musical artist Marilyn Manson. The film, a crude narration of the life of a child who lives at the mercy of his drug addict mother, is presented at the ‘Quinzaine des Realisateurs’ at the Cannes Film Festival. In 2008 he returned to work for the New York director Abel Ferrara in his ‘Go Go Tales’, in which a scene in which Asia, in the role of a stripper, indulges in an intense kiss with a rottweiler dog causes a sensation. The actress has a daughter, Anna Lou, born from a long but stormy relationship with the artist Marco Castaldi alias Morgan lead singer of Bluvertigo. She is currently romantically linked to the Italian-American director Michele Civetta with whom she is expecting a child.
