Rocco Siffredi is to pornography as Mike Tyson is to boxing or Mick Jagger to rock 'n' roll: a living legend. His mother wanted him to be a priest; with her blessing, he became a hardcore performer, devoting his life to one God only: Desire. Rocco Siffredi tells all, at the risk of exploding the myth - the true story, his beginnings, his career, his wife and children, and the ultimate revelation that changed his life forever. A behind-the-scenes account of the porn world and its stars as they've never been seen before: the no-holds-barred portrait of a true giant. (Venice International Film Festival)

Rocco crying, conversing with his sons, and working. Both humorous and serious in turn, this well-conceived
documentary makes the surprising revelation that “Dirty Anal Kelly” is more level-headed than the Master himself (and
his cousin Gabi). And that there’s more than just Lucas’s ILM in San Francisco. Rocco is an interesting excursion to
offices, studios, cars, homes and stables of some industry figures, including producer John Stagliano.

A bit monotonous towards the end, but as a confession and a paradox it works excellently. Suffering vs desire in a battle without a winner. Fantastic music and very impressive visuals.

A major documentary saying goodbye to the legend of the porn industry with Rocco Siffredi. How does the work of a porn actor resonate with Italian Catholicism? Can work and family be separated? Is it possible to find redemption if Rocco chooses a submissive role in the final film of his career? It is good to think about porn in today's world. It has never been possible to ignore porn, but when else to make documentaries than at a time when the boundaries of the mainstream are once again being blurred.

"On the 23rd, you'll have a double penetration with Mike. There will probably be some dialogue. On the 24th, a casting with Rocco. So I've scheduled your funeral for the 25th." Who cares about another "When I was a kid, my parents told me to 'study hard and eat funny porridge'" documentary when they can get a behind-the-scenes look at the current commercial porn business? Aside from a few gratuitous flashbacks to his childhood designed to make the Italian Stallion shed a manly tear, the documentary thankfully spends little time on the usual descriptive plague of how the protagonist became what he became. Instead, it uniquely charts the strange micro-world of porn agents, creators, actors, and studios, the creative processes, and the relationships between the actors. Rocco himself is no slouch (Yeeah, You are beautiful. Sexy, sexy, sexy.), this is doubly true of his court director Gabe, and a certain conceptual initiative fires off only in the last third with the vivacious dragoness Kelly Stafford, but from what I've had a chance to watch thus far, Rocco is on the outermost edge of the trend of combining narrative and documentary (a trend often attempted by Ulrich Seidl, by the way). With just a few tweaks, this could be a classic feature film, maybe even with fictional characters, and it would work just about the same. Quite deliberately, the camera does not function as an objective observer, but is purely subjective, ambient, often almost lyrical. Rocco is not so much trying to inform as to make you feel. Which, in the case of its subject, is a bold path worthy of commendation. This "documentary", for example, is more plot-driven than Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience, which, though narrative fiction, uses more documentary techniques.
