Netflix has dropped a teaser trailer for “Supersex,” the series freely inspired by the real life of global porn star Rocco Siffredi, which will world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival and drop March 6 on the streamer.
“Every power is an enigma. It can give you light, or throw you into darkness. But every existence lived to its fullest always has a price to pay,” a voiceover says in the teaser as Siffredi is bombarded by fans and paparazzi.
The show looks at how “Rocco Tano — a simple guy from Ortona [a small town in central Italy] — became Rocco Siffredi, the most famous pornstar in the world,” according to its official synopsis.
The hotly anticipated series is created and written by prominent Italian screenwriter Francesca Manieri (“We Are Who We Are,” “L’Immensità”), who is known for her feminist works.
At the center of “Supersex” – which is produced by Lorenzo Mieli’s The Apartment, a Fremantle company, and Groenlandia, which is part of the Banijay group – are real and fictional aspects of the life of the Italian porn star, played by Italian A-lister Alessandro Borghi (“The Eight Mountains”).
Alongside Borghi as Siffredi, the show features Jasmine Trinca (“Honey”), who plays Lucia, a fictional female character “who represents a synthesis of most women with whom Rocco had a relationship in his life,” according to the synopsis. Adriano Giannini (“Adagio”) plays Tommaso, Rocco’s half-brother, while Saul Nanni (“Love & Gelato”) plays Rocco as a young man. Other cast members include Enrico Borello, Vincenzo Nemolato, Gaia Messerklinger as female Italian porn star Moana Pozzi, Jade Pedri and Linda Caridi (“Last Night of Amore”).
