RIMINI

Richie Bravo, once upon a time a successful pop star, chases after his faded fame in wintry Rimini. Trapped between permanent intoxication and concerts for busloads of tourists, his world starts to collapse when his adult daughter breaks into his life, demanding money from him that he doesn’t have.

REVIEWS

"Austrian filmmaker Ulrich Seidl is one of the world's best directors of actors, and he nears some kind of a peak in "Rimini," a blisteringly funny and often touching film about people struggling towards happiness despite having experienced lifetimes of disappointment." - Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com

“A shiveringly precise slow burn that continues to burrow new tunnels in the mind long after it ends...This is not, in the end, a tale of hubris brought low, or even of a tacky life staring down a long lens at a tawdry, dwindling death. Instead it’s a chilling parable about the sins of the father becoming the punishments of the son, and about the moral arc of the universe bending, across generations, toward the coldest justice imaginable.” - Variety

“There is a kind of brilliance in it. [Rimini] is managed with unflinching conviction, a tremendous compositional sense and an amazing flair for discovering extraordinary locations.” - The Guardian

“Ulrich Seidl’s 'Rimini' is an uncompromising, coldly provocative drama that gathered no prizes, which is a shame. But that its star, Michael Thomas, playing a washed-up club singer in an off-season Italian beach town, was not specifically recognized is more or less a crime.”The New York Times

Rimini shows that a director does not have to like his characters. But he has to love them, and then he can tell us anything.” - Die Zeit

“It could be sentimental, this “winter journey” to the graveyard of dreams and desire. It could be a settling of scores, a satire, an exposé. But it never is. We’re in an Ulrich Seidl movie. And at the end we sit silently in our seats.” - WELT Online
