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. She demands money from him that he doesn't have.

Austrian actor Michael Thomas [is] giving such an astoundingly
deep-dive performance it barely feels like performance at all.
Variety
RIMINI is an uncompromising, coldly provocative drama.
The New York Times
There is torment for everyone, including the audience. 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 finds the real drama.
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
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.
