Description

Steve Coogan and director Michael Winterbottom (24 Hour Party People and The Trip) continue their fruitful partnership with this epic portrait of the rise and fall of British nudie theater impresario Paul Raymond.

The symbol of Soho, sex and sophistication from the swinging 60s to the 80s, Raymond almost single-handedly rewrote the cultural history of the UK with an empire of topless theaters and softcore magazines that would eventually make him the richest man in the country.

Although often wryly funny, Coogan gives a touching dramatic performance that explores the champagne-soaked highs and the heartbreaking lows of a voyeuristic visionary.

Paul Raymond, der aus einfachsten Verhältnissen stammt, arbeitet sich zu einem der reichsten Männer Grossbritanniens hoch. 'Sex sells' lautet sein Erfolgsmodell, am Anfang seiner Karriere steht ein kleiner Nachtclub. Die Einnahmen daraus investiert er in eine Immobilie, ein Erotikmagazin folgt und schon bald gehören ihm ganze Strassenzüge im Londoner Stadtteil Soho. Den Frauen gehört sein Herz, von ehelicher Treue hält er wenig. Doch dann, mit nur 36 Jahren, stirbt seine geliebte Tochter Debbie an einer Überdosis Heroin.
