October in Rimini is an Italian melodrama by Valerio Zurlini from 1972.
action
Daniele takes on the position of a lecturer at a literature institute in Rimini for three months . Because of his not very fashionable clothes, his stubbly beard and his old car, his colleagues and students, some of whom come from the city's first families, consider him to be poorly groomed. Daniele is married, his wife is prone to depression and hysteria, but they still have sexual relations.
He met 20-year-old Vanina among his students. He gives her the novella "Vanina Vanini" by Stendhal . The two are gradually getting closer. But she has a rich friend, Gerardo, who drives a red Lamborghini Miura and is very jealous.
At a party in his house, to which Daniele is also invited, Gerardo shows a privately made film of a trip with Vanina to Venice , although she protests against it. When a scene appears on the screen in which Vanina lies naked on a bed, she indignantly switches off the projection device and explains to her friend Gerardo that she considers the relationship to be over.
After several days, she lets Daniele deliver the news that she wants to see him. They both drive to an abandoned but still furnished house and sleep together there. The next morning, her ex-boyfriend Gerardo drives up there with his friends to get her back. He aggressively asks her what she expects from a relationship with a poor temporary teacher. But she rejects him, whereupon he pounces on Daniele. But this knocks down Gerardo.
Daniele explains to his wife that he is leaving her. He packs a few books and his toothbrush. While he was leaving the apartment, his wife had a fit of anger. Since Vanina fears the revenge of her ex-boyfriend Gerardo, she leaves the city, Daniele takes her to the train station. Over the next few days he tried in vain to reach her by phone. At a phone booth he is beaten up by a big, strong man who has pulled up in the red Lamborghini.
Convinced that Vanina does not want to continue the relationship with him, Daniele decides to return to his wife. But this doesn't let him into the apartment. He then drives around aimlessly. In the fog his car comes off the road, overturns and goes up in flames.
The final scene shows a funeral mass in a palace chapel. Most of the people in mourning are elderly, all dressed elegantly. The spokesman says off- screen that the deceased belonged to one of the richest and most respected families in his home region.
Trivia
