Rimini

I wanted to see this film, as I had fond memories of Rimini when I was a child Boy, were they ruined ! What a bleak but haunting film.....it left me quite disturbed Richie Bravo an aging crooner, popular with ladies of a certain age definitely had a reminiscent charm of typical resort singers abroad and on cruise ships.....schmoozing their way into their fantasies.

Richie sells his favours to certain fans, and I have to say, and I am not a prude, I found the explicit sex scenes with these elderly ladies excruciatingly sordid.

As the films descends into lowliness, so does the weather, which I found a great touch to the film The story line includes Richie's quest to reconcile himself with his abandoned daughter, and the subsequent conclusion to this story line is very original and funny All in all, Micheal Thomas plays low life, but kindly Richie Bravo to a decadent T, an authentic performance I definitely won't be visiting Rimini in the winter.
