Text or Apologia of a Commentary (2000)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

The picture consists of two parts, the characters of which are busy commenting on what is happening to them and in the whole world. In the first part ("A Babysitter for a Boy"), the author plays with a literary character and a plot. In the second part ("Commentator for the Poet") The author plays with a fictional Poet (in turn, also with the author), who is portrayed by the Author-commentator. However, this Author is not the last in the hierarchy of similar characters.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
