Golden Pollen (1970)

The Radar read

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

Synopsis

Hmone is a singer and dancer with one of the best known Burmese travelling theatres. One of the leading cast members is the pianist and composer Myint Thu. He has composed the song 'Hmone Shwe Yee' for Hmone which makes her a famous star. The song, praising the beauty and fragrance of the flower 'Hmone Shwe Yee', is a hidden declaration of love, but in 'real' life Myint Thu behaves with rather more reservation, strictness and coldness. He is a man incapable of showing his feelings. The mutual attraction is never admitted openly, and his love for Hmone becomes a real problem when a new admirer shows up. Ye Aung, an officer and Myint Thu's old school friend, falls in love with Hmone when he first sees her on stage.

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.
