Rough/Tender(2010)

Some like it rough. Some like it tender.

Rough/Tender is an Italian adult film that explores six distinct attitudes toward intimacy across different scenarios. Director Lucas Kazan examines the spectrum between romantic and purely physical approaches to sex through the performances of Alex Magnum, Federico D'Angelo, Ettore Tosi, and Matthias Vannelli, alongside an ensemble cast. Shot on location across Milan, Puglia, and Tuscany, the film uses its Italian settings to frame candid, often contradictory perspectives on desire and connection. Each scene presents a different emotional tone, from tender to raw, questioning what intimacy means to different people.
