Gui Daò - Sur la voie - Aller retour Beijing (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

This documentary takes us on a journey of discovery of China through the eyes of the employees on the train that runs between Wuchang and Beijing. We join the team of young women responsible for the well-being of passengers, and share their daily life in all its playfulness and serenity, even if discipline is omnipresent. Behind every word, every look, a new being to get to know.

Synopsis and metadata sourced from The Movie Database (TMDB).

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.
