Kurdwin Ayubs in Locarno ausgezeichneter Film handelt von einer erdrückenden, ultrareichen Welt, in der Freiheit wie eine Fata Morgana in der Wüste flimmert. In Mond stürzt die fulminante Florentina Holzinger in der Hauptrolle aus der Komfortzone in unwägbare Arenen voller Probleme und Gefahren.

At times recalling The Wrestler in its study of chasing faded fame, Rimini is a funny, sometimes vulgar and often moving tale of people struggling towards contentment despite lifetimes of disappointment. The film is a scathing character study about how easy it can be to commodify people’s lives.
