| TOToker New Member 5 Posts 8/17 |  Posted - Sep 10 2017 : 10:54AMI thought it was really interesting. Rocco comes off very philosophical and existential with regards to his life and porn. Netflix showed some pretty hardcore stuff in the last 10 minutes too! His brother seems like a piece of work though. [Link] |

The reason why he does what he does or his childhood and life aren't going to make my enjoyment of his work any better and could significantly make it less. I can name plenty of actors and actresses whose work I have a harder time enjoying (if at all) because I now know stuff about them that affects my enjoyment. [Link] |

I don't know about foreign versions , it's a French movie , but he speaks very often in italian and English alike , the guy mistakenly taken as his brother actually says he's his cugino ( his cousin ) I always thought Mike Angelo to be Italian, but it's not both Rocco and Cousin talk to each other in Italian but they have to talk with him in French even when they are all together off screen. EDIt I didn't watch it entirely though , there's a good third of the documentary that I will watch later Edited by - LCF on 9/10/2017 4:17:29 PM [Link] |
| BlackSix All-Star Member pornography wasn't sex but fantasies of an impossibly hospitable world 12377 Posts 9/07 | Posted - Sep 21 2017 : 4:15AM I found it quite moving and thought Rocco really exposes himself honestly in the film. When he talks about the death of his brother and later his mother and his sexual encounter with a friend of his mother it was stunning. Odd that they don't mention his wife is a former porn performer, an important detail. The scene with his two sons is both sad and funny. It was great to see Kelly Stafford and the relationship with his cousin is very interesting and obviously conflicted. The scene of him talking with Abella Danger and Veruca James post-sex-scene was oddly tender as well. By the end with the final at Kink it ended on a rather comic note that contrasts with the beginning. Overall one of the more remarkable porn documentaries I've seen. It is on Canadian Netflix.

| pat362 Senior Member 10083 Posts 3/10 | Posted - Sep 21 2017 : 9:03PM It wouldn't surprise me that the producers wanted to have Rosa in the documentary but I think Rosa realised long ago that Rocco was going to keep on doing porn long after they were married and she was probably fine with it because they did meet on a porn set but I also think that she decided that his porn career was never going to be part of their private life and appearing in documentary dedicated to Rocco would be crossing the line.

Rocco is the one who seems conflicted about having a wife and children while performing in film, not Rosa. [Link] |

| p_ramezap Senior Member 1549 Posts 5/03 | Posted - Sep 29 2017 : 11:20PM I enjoyed watching parts of it where it felt like behind the scenes of a shoot when people were being themselves. It was interesting to see what girls say about sex. They are all portrayed as loving what they do. But I also saw this as a vehicle to promote what would be Rocco's last movie. The scenes in the movie, supposedly being his last, can be found in "Rocco & Kelly: Sex Analysts" which came out on September 13. But looking at Evil Angel's websites, he released Rocco's Intimate Castings 9 on September 25, and he was four more releases coming between October to November. So, I don't know what this thing about doing his last movie was about. Maybe he changed his mind after. I still rank Rocco as number 1 of all time, as a male performer. So, I'm hoping he still continues to perform and bring his brand of porn for a long time to come. [Link] |
| BlackSix All-Star Member pornography wasn't sex but fantasies of an impossibly hospitable world 12377 Posts 9/07 | Posted - Sep 30 2017 : 2:30AM In his excellent book of film criticism Born in Flames Howard Hampton writes that Rocco brought the sexuality of the gay underground bath-houses to straight pornography, there was always a strong undercurrent of the homoerotic, perverse and what Susan Sontag calls 'the demonic' in his work. In that way I think he isn't just be melodramatic when he refers to the 'devil between his legs.' Some here have suggested that Rocco had paid for this film to be made but I've looked at the producers and see no evidence of that. There may be an element of self-promotion in the film of coursenthere almost always is in this kind of project but certainly it is less so than in the documentary that was made by Ron Jeremy for instance which felt like a whitewash. Whatever its flaws this isn't a whitewash I think. In terms of whether it was his last scene, just because something comes out later doesn't mean it was shot later. Porn production is notoriously haphazard and release schedules are all over the place. [Link] |
