Pourquoi les hommes brûlent-ils? (2010)

The Radar read

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

Synopsis

On January 31, 1980, in Guatemala, while the civil war between the military dictatorship and the Marxist guerrillas dragged on, 32 representatives of Indian peasant associations came from the four corners of the country and peacefully occupied the Spanish embassy, to claim their rights. None come out alive. All are burned alive by the ruling military junta. Only the ambassador survives.

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.
