MONTREAL—Iconic performer/director Rocco Siffredi's newest feature project Introspection begins rolling out today as a five-part limited series that continues throughout July.
Introspection stars 2022 AVN Best New International Starlet nominee Eden Ivy as a woman obsessed with anal sex and searching for the reason why. She's been stalking a therapist (Mike Chapman) by sending him provocative videos, and when he finally gives in and meets with her, she begins telling her story in a series of flashbacks to sexual encounters from her past.
“The reason why I decided to do this movie is that an Italian sculptor called Fabio Viale made a monumental statue of me as a tribute to my career,” said Siffredi. “It’s 1.5 times the size of a human and was created in ancient Greek style to represent sexuality. The artist decided to sculpt the face and the body exactly the way I am in front of the camera. When it was finished, he told me, ‘It’s ready, now please give life to it.’ And the only thing I could think of is to make a movie around this statue.
“While I was thinking about the storyline, I realized that this statue undoubtedly represents me, just like I represent sexuality without limits ... so I decided not to put limits on this movie either. For Introspection I wanted a truly original story with charismatic main characters.”
Of his lead actress Ivy, Siffredi said, “When I looked into her eyes I couldn’t believe how beautiful she was. I was like, ‘Wow, this girl is stunning! She looks like a top model.' Then I saw all those great tattoos covering half of her body and her sexuality: she was always playing with her ass, completely involved with anal sex. That’s when I said to myself, 'She’s probably the only person who is able to ride this huge marble statue with her ass.'
“I called her and asked if she would want to do this movie with me; I was sure she would be amazing. She said yes, so I immediately started writing the script. The story is simple, because it’s almost based on her real life. I took elements from her real life and put them in front of the camera.”
Part one of Introspection is available now at RoccoSiffredi.com and AdultTime.com.
