I was expecting a purely porn movie but this is an exquisite love story for multiple characters with many contrasts and perplexing dilemas. Porn (soft core) is a core part of the story but it is not THE story. It is tastefully and accurately integrated into Rocco's life story. However this is definitely an Adults (18+) only movie!
The scenery and characters are beautiful! The story takes place in Italy, France, and Los Angeles. The movie is in Italian language but over dubbed in English - hardly noticeable. I will watch it again in Italian. It was very engaging emotionally. As I mentioned, the sex is an outcome of Rocco's story, not the only reason for the movie. I have never seen a "Porn" movie of this caliber and depth before.
The acting by the main characters is good. The Directors have accurately portrayed Rocco's life story, without the movie feeling like a Documentary or Biography. The subject matter has a seamy and sometimes distasteful side but the Directors do not dwell on that or emphasize it. It is all part of the story.
The movie was a surprise. I did not expect to be drawn into a 7 Episode Italian Mini-Series. It is engaging and tastefully presented. The cinematography is outstanding. This genre is unique. I have not watched the last 7th episode yet. Hopefully, the conclusion is done as well as the rest of the series.
If you have the time and want to try a different kind of good movie, give Supersex a shot. By the way, the title seems to portray a XXX Porn movie but this is not. The title is a key ingredient of Rocco's life story.
