Taxi Negro (1980)
The Radar read
A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.
Synopsis
Marcelo is a humble taxi driver who travels the streets of Bogotá daily. On one occasion he tries to help a sick passenger, with such bad luck that the man dies. Looking for some identification¸ Marcelo opens a briefcase¸ which he finds full of money. He hesitates for a moment and decides to run away with the briefcase. The film narrates the fate of Marcelo full of guilt because of ill-gotten money.

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.
