Did she or didn't she?


Caroline Ducey said the seen with Rocco Stiffredi was very difficult for her.

Did she actually get penetrated?

reply

yes, she did, if you watch colesely her facial expression it is actually quite clear, plus it suits the idea of the movie quite well, i am sure she did.

i also read what she said about the difficult scenes with rocco, maybe she was sort of afraid of him, his sexuality or masculinity maybe, because she knew he was a porn star, and well known too.

by the way, i really like that scene, it is so sensual, and rocco manages quite well indeed as a real actor, i've heard people say they actually thought he was a real actor, and coulnd't believe he wasn't :)

reply

I wondered too. It looks pretty real to me, but who knows. Maybe she meant the scene was difficult for her because she was going to have real sex and was having second thoughts, thinking it might ruin her career.

Does anyone know if the guy who was giving her oral sex on the stairs was real? I think it might have been.

reply

In Europe, an actor or actress' career is not generally harmed just because they fufilled what a role required. I doubt she feared for her career when considering the scenes.

I don't know ... are you? In the film 9 Songs (set in England) the director went all the way to South Carolina to get an actress to play the part of English girl Lisa who was required to participate in some of the most lurid sex scenes depicted in mainstream cinema including full sex!

No, Europeans generally just have fewer hang-ups about sexuality in movies than citizens of the USA. See Brotherhood of the Wolf or 1900 as examples of Euro movies which depict sexuality as a normal part of life.

reply


it is because the europeans are more mature. they don't have a fear of reality like the yanks or aussies do for example. they don't mind staring truth in the face.

Thank you for that little tidbit of insight, St. Anus.

Obviously there was no real penetration despite what the director says.

The sex is supposed to be real, but nothing about that scene seems to require it to be actual penetrative sex. It could have easily been explicit without actual penile penetration given the angles involved. Lots of ordinary Hollywood sex scenes have as or more realistic facial expressions and equally "realistic" body positioning and movement.

It seems weird that the director would insist on actual penetrative sex when the camera angle doesn't actually show actual penetration. It seems weirder that the actress would go along with it for the same reason.
