Well there are a lot to say ...
For me it has been a huge shock to watch this because it has make me fly back in time and it's hard to explain but on many part of this film I felt I was there ... so brought many emotions !!!
But there are many good / bad / missing and fake things in this serie ...
This actor playing Rocco is amazing and I really see Rocco as he was 35 years ago when I see this film. Even the way Rocco does the "horse smile" is exactly a copy of him !!! Incredible ...
- The first 10 minutes are horrible and should not have been the intro ... many people I know stopped watch the film just because of it. It must have been better to start by him as a kid because that's very nice !!!
- Rocco was making pizza in the restaurant but we never see it ...
- Supersex it was Gabriel Pontello and for people not aware of it it's difficult to understand that the man in the book it's Gabriel andt it take few episode before it comes up and the way it's made is not clear !!!
- As much the cast is perfect with Rocco / Riccardo Schicchi / Rosa interpreters and OK with Moana Pozzi and Rocco's father in the film as much they are at years light with the faces of Gabriel Pontelo, Christophe Clark, Michel Ricaud, Gabriel Zero the Rocco's cousin, Denise the owner of the Club 106, John Stagliano and Rocco's mom ( but not important because this actress in the film is great ).
- And what I consider as a MEGA MISTAKE they totally cancelled Cicciolina which is something impossible if we consider a big part of the successful career of Rocco is connected to her and she as always been 100 times more important than Moana Pozzi.
I was the photographer in December 1990 on the last film of Cicciolina in Roma directed by Hugo Mattera and she was fucked by Rocco/ Christophe and another very important actor being forgot in the serie : Roberto Mallone !!!
I spoke two days ago with Cicciolina and she told me she is not in the film because the way they wanted make her personnage was far from reality and she fought with the production.
- Rocco never met Tereza Orlowski in the 106 but in Hanover where I stayed with him in March 1990 while I brought there Sandrine Van Herpe. Rocco was the best performer for the "No Limit" scene of 90 minutes fuck non stop that almost nobody out of Christophe and Roberto could make ... ( No viagra and even if injection existed already it was reserved to gay productions )
- In 106 we never see Alban Ceray who was a key person in the place and only when Denise stopped the 106 for the 41 she was alone !!!
- The story of Rocco and Tina was not on an island in greece but in England and Tina was a FANTASTIC girl blonde with big blue eyes !!! Never heard from Rocco about making her pregnant but he was very sad that she end up with him because she said he broke her pussy with his huge dick ... this part is true !!!
- I went to Ortona in Rocco's house, stayed there, met his parents, did even picture of him in his old Fiat 500 he had before come to Paris.
- I never heard from Rocco he had a "gay mentor" like in the film. I feel it's again a wish to please the "woke" ...
- Rocco met Rosa in 1993 on Body Guard film in Cannes Festival ( Not 1994 ) but she was already in the biz since 1992 and was published in Private mag already.
It's Joachim Vallach who did her first photos. And it's in 1994 at Hot d'Or that his father came ...
They went later in Africa to shoot for Joe d'Amato "Darzan" and if I was the director of the film I will have included that part because it's from what I know the moment their love story has really explosed !!! ( Rosa is a marvelous person than I have always respected and who always has been kind to me still speaking to me when Rocco wasn't after 2018 )
- I will not do any comment about the Tomaso story in the film but it's a top fiction and of course nobody was fucking in the street of Pigalle like in the film. The hotest place was the Lolita Club where Piotr Stanislas was fucking on stage with JPA also sometime.
- The circomcision of Rocco was in december 1991 and he stayed 54 days without make a cum shot ( it's what he told me at this time ) and it wasn't connected to the death of his mom like they say in the film !
We had a phone call the day after his first shoot since the operation and he told me : "I came soooo much I drowned her !!!"
- Of course they did not mentionned Rocco and me we did a DP with an Australian girl at 10 000 meters in the British airways plane between Sydney and Singapore in November 1991. Lot of people have had sex in a plane but don't I don't think many did a DP !!!
- I also don't like the "moral" based on the actual #Metoo tendance with his sister in law explaining him the girl can say yes for something today and feel no tomorrow !!! I am so tired of this with various instance trying to justify perverse actions of women by the fault of the men and accepting their late redemption years later like something absolutely normal !!!
But NO !!! We all did things we regret it's part of the life but in 95 % of the case it's only OUR FAULT and trying to put on the shoulder of a porn actor the responsability of the act a women has wish one day and rejected later is not fair IMO !!!
I'm gonna stop here ... I could say much more but it will not change anything.
The serie was good to watch for me that's the most important ...
