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,
-five… -♪ Go to sleep ♪
…six,
seven…
♪ Go to sleep ♪
…eight,
nine…
♪ The wolf has eaten sheep… ♪
Ten.
♪ The little field ♪
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.
But it's so strong,
it feels like dying.
-Alright! Hold on tight! -Woo-hoo, yeah! Let's go!
-There you go! -We're the Tanos! Everyone, make way!
-Make way! -Make way! Make way for us! Make way!
Yeah!
We were the Tanos then.
And as Tommaso said, the name Tano meant we were masters of the world.
Not a family of losers and idiots who would never amount to anything in life.
Yeah. Look at us! Yeah! Yeah!
Say cheese!
Look, they've returned.
Hey! Tommy! Rocco!
That was my cousin, Gabriele.
And they were the Gypsies.
The ones who clubbed Claudio's head in.
This was their turf.
Look who's out today. The Tanos.
Even the bastard and the retard are with them.
I didn't catch that. What did you call him?
A retard.
-Get out of here, Tommaso. The lot of ya. -Stop, Rocco.
-This is not your turf. -Armando, move!
-Armando! What is it? -Claudio! Claudio!
-Claudio! -Stop!
-What now? -You wanna die?
-Go ahead. -Claudio!
-Let's go. -Claudio!
Go on, go back home. Rat!
-Claudio! -Claudio! Claudio!
Everything's alright. Tommaso's here. You hear me?
-Everything's all right, Claudio! -Let's go home!
-No one's gonna hurt you, okay? Claudio! -Let's go.
-Rocco, let's go. -Leave him alone!
-Can't you see you're hurting him? -Dad was right, Tommy.
-Claudio… -Just go away.
Can you see he always gets upset when you're around, Tommaso?
'Cause he feels alive when he's with me.
You're not family.
Just leave, okay?
I'll watch over Claudio. Go.
Be careful with him.
Stop! You're hurting Claudio!
That was the last time the three of us were together.
Me, Tommaso, and Claudio.
Tommy!
Tommaso!
Gabri, stand over there.
We'll see if this works.
-Now count to ten, Rocco! -Yeah.
One…
and two…
…three…
Claudio…
Claudio?
The whole world changed that day.
Mom's smile disappeared.
Like all superheroes, it was the superpower that came to me
when I was feeling the most pain,
when you either find a superpower, or pain eats you up from the inside.
It happened to Batman when his parents were murdered,
to Mr. Freeze when his wife died,
and to Magneto when his mom was shot.
That day in March, when Claudio died,
it happened to me too.
-They're clearing the entrance. -Alright.
Here's a hot water bottle, 98 degrees.
-Oh, how'd you do that? -Eh… The thermometer in the infirmary.
Gabri…
Don't you think we were better off in Ortona? Huh?
We had terrible lives in Ortona.
You need to stop all this. Just stop it.
Fucking Paris. Ugh.
I told you I didn't wanna come back here. I shouldn't have come back here.
It's been a whole year.
You need to move on. It wasn't you.
Tommaso did it all by himself.
A guy like Tommy killed himself
because he wanted the attention he didn't get in life.
I see him, Gabri.
I keep seeing him… everywhere.
Where, Rocco?
Even here, among all the journalists.
And where did he go?
Hmm… He was looking at me, then I couldn't see him.
Why couldn't you see him anymore?
Because he's dead.
That's right.
And dead people don't show up at press conferences.
And they don't spout bullshit at press conferences like you did.
I'm not in a good way.
And who's right here with you?
Gabriele's here.
So put the bottle under your balls better.
You just have to relax the boys now.
Relax, sit back, and you'll be fine.
The superpower was like electricity.
And that electricity was everywhere.
Rocco, wake up. Look, your ice cream is melting.
Let's do it.
We'll get away from here.
Mm. Out in the world.
They talk out of envy.
Because together, we're something big.
Come here. Come here, she saw us. Come on.
THE HARDCORE PICTURE NOVEL SUPERSEX AND THE DOUBLE BLUFF
-Show me what you have. -I don't have anything.
Well, let's see if you don't have anything.
No, come on, please!
-No! -Eh…
Ah… Way to go, Rocco. You're growing up real fast!
-Hm… -I found it on the road, I swear.
-You swear you found it in the road? Yeah? -Ow! Don't hurt me!
In the road.
Read that.
-This? -Mm.
Um…
"Supersex."
Hmm.
Supersex.
-Supersex has got some hot girls. -Yep!
-Hot like Lucia. -Yep!
-Hey! -No, I was jok… I was joking!
-What did you say? -Stop, please!
Oh my God!
You know what's even stronger than a knife, Rocco?
-Hmm? -A really big gun?
And stronger than a big gun?
Um… dynamite?
Rocco, listen to me.
So, between our legs, all men and women have dynamite.
Whoever controls that controls everything.
Everyone wants the same thing, Rocco.
And people like us want two things.
To fuck the most beautiful women,
and to stop being poor, Rocco.
And those two things always go hand in hand.
Always.
Can you feel that energy? Huh?
The energy that drives the world, Rocco? That, right there.
The world wants to fuck us, Rocco.
-Know what we're gonna do? -Hm?
Some day we'll fuck the world.
-Understand? -Like Supersex?
Even more! A lot more!
We won't live here forever, and we won't die like vermin.
We'll come back here.
We'll come back like kings.
And with Mom as our queen!
What are we gonna do, Rocco?
Uh… We're gonna fuck the world.
What? I can't hear you! What are we gonna do, Rocco?
-We're gonna fuck the world. -We're going to fuck the world, Rocco!
We're going to fuck the world!
We're going to fuck the world, Rocco!
-What are we gonna do? -We're gonna fuck the world!
Yeah!
An electric energy so great it permeates the whole world.
A beautiful, life-giving power.
-Come on! -No!
It was everywhere.
The only one able to give strength to those who have nothing.
-Come on! -Rocco, over here!
-Come on! -Can I see it?
-Come on. -Hey, it's my turn!
-Let me see! -Come on!
Let's see it, Rocco!
Capable of overcoming all pain.
All except for my mother's.
Rocco…
You have to be a saint like Claudio.
You'll be a priest.
That way, you can pray for his soul every day.
You need to stay away from girls.
They'll tear your heart out.
They'll bring you pain.
I would've done anything to avoid causing her more pain.
Anything.
Cuz, cuz, let me see page 11.
-No, Gabriele. -Come on, page 11.
-Come on, cuz! -It's in the garbage. Okay?
What do you mean? You tossed it?
Finally, we were on top of the world.
Me and you.
Do you know who has it now, Rocco?
Zoran's got it.
But he's telling everyone that he's Supersex.
-What did Zoran say? -That he's Supersex.
Alright, let's get it back.
-Show it to us! -Gimme, gimme! Come on!
-Me first. -Show us. Let me see. Come on!
Hey, look who's coming.
Give that back! You got that outside my house!
It's mine!
Yeah? Do you know what each piece cost me?
And you threw it away.
Now it's mine.
Besides, this is our turf, and we don't want Tanos here.
-Give it to me! -Hey, what are you doing?
-Give it back! -Hurt him!
Let me go.
-Pin him down! -Hit him!
-Grab him! -Get him!
Are you crazy?
Hey, shorty, What are you doing here without that piece of shit Tommaso?
-Keep my brother's name out of your mouth! -Shut up, dwarf!
He's the son of a whore. He's not your brother.
-Pull his pants down. -Please, no!
-Grab his legs! -Go on.
No, don't do it! No!
No! Don't do it! No!
Stretch it! Stretch it! Stretch it! Stretch it!
No, don't do it!
Come on, you pull it. Go on.
What about you? Are you with him?
Stretch it! Stretch it! Stretch it!
Stretch it! Stretch it!
Stretch it!
Drop your pants.
Eh…
Drop your pants.
Come here.
Did they hurt you?
-Hey, did they… -Those guys said you were not my brother.
-No! No! -Hey!
-No! -Hold on.
Incredible.
I've never seen anything like it.
Bro, this is huge!
Those sons of bitches…
stretched it for real.
-And now you, Rocco, my brother… -Hm?
You've got the biggest dick in the world.
Ya hear me?
Are you sure?
Of course I'm sure.
Hm.
Of course I'm sure!
But now it'll get enormous!
Now it'll get enormous, you hear me?
Biggest dick in all of Tanos!
Hold your head up proudly.
I love you, Tommy.
Come here.
It wasn't true that they'd stretched it.
But that's what Tommaso had told me.
And I just believed it.
Come on, cuz. Cuz, talk to me. I've been looking for you everywhere.
Please leave. That's not your bed.
That's for Tommaso and Claudio.
You're a traitor. Leave.
Tommaso doesn't sleep here anymore. Right? He sleeps with that whore.
-Don't talk about Lucia like that! -But she is a whore.
Don't you dare mention Lucia's name, okay?
My mother says Tommaso's a disgrace to the entire family!
And if Carmela's hurting, he's responsible.
Shut up! Get out!
You're a traitor!
Judas!
You can ask anybody! Everyone knows it!
Take a look.
I know you want to see it.
Yes.
Ah… never mind.
Oh! Hey, there.
Hey, Rocco!
-You want a hot chocolate? -No, he'll be eating soon.
Rocco needs to tell you something.
Rocco?
Is this about the thing with Zoran? Didn't he get enough?
Or did you find my gift?
So you found it, that right?
Tell your brother what you told me.
-No, no, please. No, Ma. No. -Go on.
-No. Please. -Go on.
I saw Lucia.
Everyone sees Lucia when she goes by. Isn't that right, Rocco?
I'm gonna have to go now. On my tab, Alfredo.
She was with Michele, the delivery guy.
So what?
But she was naked.
And what do you know about naked girls?
Careful what you say about Lucia.
-Otherwise, I'll knock all your teeth out. -Tommaso…
Tommy.
-You hear me? -Tommy!
You're handsome.
You're strong.
But whores will eat your heart out, and spit the rest out into the world.
You forgotten your mother?
You're my mother.
No, Tommy.
If you were my son, you'd stay away from that slut.
Lucia's not a slut! You hear me?
Lucia is not a slut!
This is the typical Tano stench of complete and utter misery!
Ungrateful and jealous! That is what you are!
I've given you absolutely everything. Haven't I? Everything!
I treat you better than all your children! I treat you better than all your children!
You, you will never be like me.
You are stupid!
You're a coward like the rest of the Tanos, Rocco!
You're a coward like the rest of the Tanos!
Quiet! Tommy, It's that woman. She is driving you crazy.
You're wrong! She loves me, Ma!
Listen to me, alright. I am not a reject. You understand?
Get that through your head! You can all go and rot like rats!
You all can piss off! Piss off!
Tommaso had gotten Supersex back for me.
And what had I done?
You're my knight. I love only you.
Take me away from here, their eyes are killing me.
Tommaso disappeared for days.
Then we heard he was getting married to Lucia.
No one leaves this house.
Get back here…
-Tommaso is waiting for us! -It's about time he moved out.
-Let me go. -He's no Tano!
-Let me go!
People say he waited outside the church until the last minute.
Even after the bride had entered.
But none of us showed up.
I haven't seen him since that day.
I had dynamite in me.
But I didn't know how to use it.
I didn't know where that dynamite would take me.
Away from everything around me, from that anger, that poverty.
Away from all that pain.
I was alone. I could sense I had my destiny in my hands,
and I didn't know what to do.
And from where I never would have imagined…
came the response and courage Tommaso had talked about.
-Ten. -Ten.
Ifix Tcen Tcen.
Out! No, no, no! Move.
Please, I just want to ask him a question.
No! He's not… Some respect, please!
Some respect! Please.
Hey, get… Get out of the way.
Let's go, let's go. Hey, Rocco!
That's enough, come on. Come on. Here. Let's go.
Come on, one question, Rocco!
Come on, Rocco!
Sorry.
Sir! Hey, sir!
There's nothing more to see. Please leave.
Go!
