MONTREAL — Adult Time has released Rocco Siffredi’s new feature, “Introspection," featuring a statue crafted in his likeness.
“This is a film where digging deep into the heart of who you are reaps big rewards,” said a rep.
Eden Ivy plays a woman with a compulsion: she is obsessed with anal sex and is searching for the reason why. She also has an obsession with a therapist she’s been stalking (Mike Chapman) and sends a series of provocative videos to grab his attention. One day, he takes the bait and her story begins with a long interview punctuated by flashbacks of sexual encounters from her past.
Siffredi said that he decided to make “Introspection” because Italian sculptor Fabio Viale created "a monumental statue of me as a tribute to my career."
"It’s 1.5 times the size of a human and was created in ancient Greek style to represent sexuality," he explained. "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 Siffredi was dreaming up the storyline, it struck him that the 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."
When it came time for casting, Siffredi noted, he looked into Eden Ivy’s eyes and "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 discovered her sexuality," he added. "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.'"
The story, Siffredi concluded, would be 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."
The feature is available as a five-part series at RoccoSiffredi.com and on Adult Time.
