The fourth collaboration between Coogan and Winterbottom (following 24-Hour Party People, A Cock and Bull Story and The Trip) tells the thrilling story of controversial Soho-based entrepreneur, Paul Raymond.
Dubbed by the press as the “King of Soho” and known for bringing nudity into the mainstream with his adult entertainment businesses, Raymond amassed a fortune in London between 1950 and 1990. The film follows Raymond’s stylish, glamorous rise to riches and the great personal tragedy that came with his success.
As no-holds-barred as the man himself, Winterbottom’s masterful direction captures the spirit of the man, and as such it is totally enthralling.
