Sex. It might be the only act capable of embodying all the emotions, feelings, and states in the world: love, affection, violence, loneliness, arrogance, selfishness, passion, banality, hunger, satisfaction, frustration, pleasure…
Inspired by the life of porn legend Rocco Siffredi, Netflix’s Supersex goes beyond being an ordinary biography, delving into Siffredi’s relationship with sex by exploring his childhood and family. In this sense, it offers a nuanced perspective, creating an opportunity for a deeper contemplation on the subject of sex.
Italian productions, in general, excel at portraying human relationships—how connections are formed, how they break, and the twists and turns they undergo.
The series examines Siffredi’s relationships with his older brother, mother, siblings, and the people in his hometown, shedding light on how sex became a form of expression for him.
Although it struggles to sustain the intrigue and excitement it promises at the beginning, Supersex serves as a good tool for intellectual reflection on pornography and sex.
