Well, hello there, kind folks. If you’re visiting this blog of mine, I presume that you have a certain interest in the cinema. As for me, even since my early childhood, I have had a deep love of everything related to movies and television. As far as I can remember, I have been more at ease in front of a screen than in the yard, outside, playing. It is a great way to travel, though other people’s stories, without having to foot any kind of steep bill. Over the years, I feel that movie-watching has even fuelled my own creativity.

All that being said, I welcome you in my Cinephile’s Nest. I hope you enjoy it here, feel free to come back at any time. Here you will find reviews of current movies and older ones. TV shows also. Some classics that have remained some of my favourites, some that have disappointed me. I will use a very basic star (*) system to grade them from 1 to 5 (5 being sliced bread level). Remember, these are just my tastes. I will try to explain in each review what I liked about these particular movies, without giving spoilers.

Il y aura aussi des critiques en français pour les films francophones, car j'aime également le cinéma dans ma langue maternelle. Avant d'apprendre l'anglais, plus jeune, je louais des tonnes de films traduits en français, surtout ceux de Bud Spencer et Terrence Hill. Ma mère a eu le choc de sa vie lorsqu'un jour, dans la boîte d'un de ces films, Deep Throat avait malencontreusement inséré. Une expérience formatrice pour le jeune cinéphile que je suis.

Bienvenue à tous, amusez-vous bien.

I welcome you all here, enjoy yourself.

Rocco (2016)

Genre: Documentary
Directed by: Thierry Demaizière and Alban Teurlai
Starring: Rocco Siffredi
Running time: 105 minutes



This documentary film details the last year in front of the camera of porn actor Rocco Siffredi, before his retirement from the controversial industry that made him a star to many people around the world.

Here, Rocco Siffredi offers a very honest take on himself as he looks back on his youth, on some traumatic experiences and on how sexual desire took over him at a very young age. Through it all, he managed to find a wife who loves him in spite of his job and to raise along with her two boys. Now in their late teen years, they know what their father does and don’t seem to be bothered by it.

Rocco is not a documentary for the faint of heart or for those who are easily offended. While not a full blown porn flick itself, it is a film about a porn star. There is quite a bit of nudity, and we see Rocco and his costars at work on set. Deeply interesting for the open minded folks.
