Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

rabidraccoongirl It's about a porn actor. It's about the porn industry, so from the start it is a divisive subject. But I think what most people fail to realise is that women are paid a lot more than men in the porn industry and it is a career they have chosen. Is it for everyone? No. I have to call out the kink shaming in these comments... yeah bdsm isn't everyone's cup of tea but for some people it's a lifestyle choice, and as a category of porn, it is obviously popular, the female actors also talk a lot about how much they enjoy it- they have chosen that type of porn because it's something they enjoy. I think Rocco Siffredi has a very sado-masochistic personality, which has been complicated by his catholic upbringing and the guilt he feels; he likes pain, but he also likes giving it, but if it's consensual, which in the documentary it is, then I don't see an issue with it. Yes the story he recounts about his mother's friend was disturbing. I don't agree with his actions, but he clearly has some issues with sex addiction and has had these issues for most of his life from the stories he recounts from his childhood. I can see that the film is a bit of a vanity project, but I don't think it is nearly as terrible as people are saying. I think they are confusing being confronted by the subject matter and the quality of the documentary. The documentary itself is not badly made, there are actually some interesting conversations within the film. I found the comment that we don't see anything about his real life a bit ridiculous... you see him at home, you see him with his family, you see him missing his wife as he talks to her on the phone, you hear him talk about the loss of his brother and his mother, he talks about his father, he argues with his cousin... there is actually a lot about his life in there.So yes, as a documentary it is a bit self congratulatory (keeping in mind that every documentary contains bias) but I still found it interesting and a worthwhile watch but if you can't stomach the porn scenes it's not the documentary for you.

jake_fantom Financed by its "star," Rocco Siffredi, and struggling to show the amazing artistry and artistic anguish of this sagging, sad old porn actor and producer, this "documentary" will make you question the meaning of that term in present-day context. Siffredi was one of the pioneers of extreme porn, in which women are brutalized — slapped hard, choked, spit on — during supposedly "sexual" acts, and in this pathetic excuse of a film he tries hard to sell the notion that this is something that women not only enjoy, but demand from a sexual experience. Ultimately, despite what looks like a hefty budget and a lot of deeply anguished cinematic soul-searching on Siffredi's part, the whole enterprise has the entertainment value of two flies enjoying an intimate moment on a dung heap. These are pathetic people who have wasted their lives marketing low-grade filth to pimply 14-year-old boys. They are not particularly intelligent or interesting, they have acquired zero wisdom even though they appear to be in their sixties, and they are far from attractive in any sense. And here's your spoiler — Siffredi's soul-searching leads absolutely nowhere. The reason is simple: he has no soul. If you opt to watch this one, folks, invest in a good-quality vomit bag first.

bartgirls Hey, this film is just an attempt to justify that a lucky guy who works having sex with the most beautiful girls in the world is suffering and deals with his own personal demons. He turned out to be a prude/conservative! He hid the fact that his wife is Rosa Caracciolo (the filmmakers even changed her name to Rosza, her Hungarian real name), a porn actress who only shot sex scenes with him, while he banged the whole cast of females of the porn flick.We don't see how he starts doing porn. We just find him wishing to shoot his last scene with Kelly, I guess his first co-star, who was a great British performer and decides to come out of retirement to shoot yet more hardcore with him.Actually the best and most entertaining scenes are the discussions Rocco has with his cousin/camera man Gabriel, a guy who wishes to be in Rocco's shoes but, according to him, doesn't have the guts to be in front of the camera.Rocco seems to be a sex addict who suffers from guilt related to the death of his mother and his brother Claudio. If that's the case, he should have looked for professional help and not being part of this pseudo-freudian study.Gosh, the girls are so beautiful and sexy... he's so lucky, it's hard to understand he's going through hell.

Bill Jordan Frankly, I think this film was merely an attempt to get Rocco some 'exposure' to a different audience, especially given that, based on his IMDb movie history, he's made plenty of films after this one. As other reviewers have noted, there isn't much insight into Rocco's life. Basically, he comes across as a sex addict who found a way to get paid and satisfy his addiction at the same time, as do the other characters in the film who work in the industry. If you want to see some soft porn while also getting some minor insight into the porn industry (like how they come up with story-lines), you might find this film interesting. After the first few minutes, I just fast-forwarded through it until I got to a scene I thought might provide some documentary-type info, but was usually disappointed.
