Supersex

Every child has a superhero.

Mine was called Supersex,

and his superpower was sex.

Come on, we're here.

Rocco! Rocco, don't piss me off. Smile.

Come on, smile!

Rocco! Smile.

PARIS, 2004

Siffredi!

Excuse us, guys.

Rocco Siffredi!

Rocco! Rocco! Rocco!

Ciao, man!

Yo, Rocco!

Don't think of this as just any old exhibition, Rocco.

This is the Biennale of sex!

Huh? Yeah?

Do you like it? Hm?

Hey there, Ciao.

Rocco. Rocco! Could I get a photo with you?

Of course.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Thank you.

- Rocco. - Over here!

How's it goin'? Hey.

Alright, take it easy.

Settle down, guys. Settle down. Come on.

You're just so beautiful!

- Hands off me, Gabri. - Just fixing your hair.

- Let's get this over with. - Alright!

- You're the number... - Yeah, yeah, I know.

One! Come on.

- You're all set. - Don't do anything crazy, Rocco.

The king of porn worldwide.

Ladies and gentlemen, Rocco Siffredi!

Rocco!

Rocco! Rocco! Rocco! Rocco!

Yeah, Rocco!

Let's go, Rocco!

Come on, Rocco!

Look at the camera, Rocco.

- Right here, Rocco. - Over here, Rocco.

Rocco Siffredi is the man who brought a new reality to porn,

and made porn his life.

He's a man who can enter the homes and desires of us all.

Both disturbing and reassuring at the same time.

And he's here today to share with us the real story of his amazing career.

So, my first question is...

can the barriers between life and porn really be broken down?

And at what price?

My porn days are over now.

I'm retiring.

Can you tell us how, when, and why you came to this...

this decision that has caught us all a bit by surprise?

The bathroom's on the right.

Rocco?

You can't retire now.

I only came here to make a porno with you.

I want to make porn with you.

I'm begging.

I'm begging you.

You're begging me?

Yeah.

What's your name?

Noemi.

Come here.

Open your mouth.

Look at how they see you.

You're just flesh.

Flesh.

Look at them.

Look.

You'll have to accept that any barrier that remains between your life and porn...

won't ever be bigger than this.

Rocco! What the fuck did you do?

First the press conference, then the hostess.

I don't know what the fuck to say anymore!

Come on, get out of the fucking bathroom!

Rocco!

SUPERSEX AND THE DOUBLE BLUFF

My superhero, Supersex...

"Super... s... sex".

When his superpower was the strongest, when he came,

he'd say, "Ifix tcen tcen."

And his superpower would spread everywhere.

I dreamt of becoming like him, of having a superpower like that.

I never could've imagined I'd have that superpower.

Or that it would come at such a high price.

Oh God, Rocco! Yes!

My superpower didn't manifest itself immediately,

because every superpower only manifests itself at the right moment.

And you don't know when the right moment is until it comes along.

Up until that moment,

you wait.

You live in terror.

Have you fornicated?

Fornicated?

Anyone who puts their hands down there,

will face terrible consequences.

You live in a dream.

And every boy in Ortona dreamed of Lucia.

All the girls talked about Lucia.

And all the boys dreamed about her.

But no one could have her.

No one, except him.

That's Tommaso!

Tommaso.

Sit down! Sit down!

Tommy!

He was my mentor.

Rocco!

Tommy!

He had everything.

But above all, he had Lucia.

Tommy!

Hey, little man! Come here, Rocco.

God bless you, my boy.

I brought these just for the little ones.

- Who are these sweets for? - I want one! Give me one!

Who are these sweets for?

We lived in public housing in Ortona.

My brother, Antonio, was the youngest.

And my older brothers, Armando and Giorgio,

they worked away because there was never any money at home.

They'd come for holidays and birthdays.

That was my brother, Claudio.

The Gypsies clubbed his head when he was five,

and he'd never been right since then.

That was my father.

He'd say how pointless things were since...

My father, Tano, lived here.

So did my grandfather, Tano.

My grandfather's father, Tano, lived a little over there.

That's how it is for us Tanos.

Destiny reserved this place and a life of struggles for us.

In your mouth...

You can take all this back, okay. I can feed this family on my own.

How, Dad? With just your paycheck? God knows how much you spend.

- Hey, don't talk back to Dad. - How dare you speak like that to me?

How can you be so disrespectful in my house? Huh?

With that fancy car, while you still owe money.

I gave you a bed to sleep in, you spoiled brat.

If it wasn't for me, you'd be in a grave by now.

And now you come here and act like you own the place?

And where did all that money come from? Where did it come from?

You smell like a criminal!

Unlike you, I won't let my brothers grow up poor.

- Move! - You hear me?

There's nothing of yours here. You understand?

- Keep walking. - That's enough.

You'll scare Claudio.

Claudio, everything's all right, okay?

You'll sleep in your bed, Tommy?

I just did the laundry.

Your brothers are staying here too.

Tell me something, Tommy.

You're not still with that girl?

Everyone in the town gossips about her.

Don't listen to them, Ma.

The people always talk about the queen.

Yeah.

She's no queen.

- Look, you have a good heart, Tommaso. - Here, Ma, eat.

She'll rip it out. Forget about her.

Go on.

You should stay here.

Here with me.

I'll stay here. With you, Ma.

Now, eat.

My mother, Carmela...

who was always washing and hanging out the laundry,

she always smiled.

Now, I'll count to ten,

and Mama will look at me.

One,

two,

three,

four,

...six,

seven...

...eight,

nine...

Ten.

My mother never looked at me.

What are you doing? You little rascal!

Cut it out! Cut it out!

Wait, stop. Stop!

Wait! Wait!

People said Tommaso wasn't called Tano...

- "Wait?" - ...but Del Signore.

That he wasn't my blood brother.

But the son of a whore who had abandoned him.

I didn't believe what people said, though, because Tommaso was God to me.

And God is no one's son.

You know what they're doing?

No.

Hey, don't be scared.

It's called sex.

Does it hurt?

No, there's no pain.
