The three films of the "Paradise" Trilogy tell stories about three women and their unfulfilled longing for love, security, and sexuality. The locations of the action, a holiday resort on the coast in Kenya, a diet camp for teenagers in the Austrian provinces, and an estate of single-family homes on the outskirts of Vienna, as well as the individual stories are all very distinct, although the protagonists are all related to each other. "Rimini" and "Sparta" are two films with male protagonists. They're also related to each other. Two brothers and their father. Although these films also tell very different stories, describe very different life situations, and are set in different places, the unifying element here is the search for happiness and the attempt to leave one’s past behind. But it catches up with you, that is the bitter or perhaps liberating truth that the protagonists ultimately have to face. There's something like an overriding affinity with the "Paradise" Trilogy. These films, "Rimini"and "Sparta" are about the longing for love and the longing to be loved, about sexual fulfilment and the failure to achieve it, and about the loneliness that remains. A shiveringly precise slow burn that continues to burrow new tunnels in the mind long after it ends. In the end this is a tale of hubris brought low, or a tacky life staring down a long lens at a tawdry, dwindling death. It's a 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. It's sentimental, this winter journey to the graveyard of dreams and desire. It's a settling of scores, a satire, an exposé. "Rimini" is managed with unflinching conviction, a tremendous compositional sense and a flair for discovering extraordinary landscapes. Written by Gregory Mann
