Calcutta (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

Calcutta is one of India’s largest cities. Paul Cox’s camera explores the lives of the poorest of its inhabitants. Filled with the vibrant sounds of Indian music, the culture of the people of Calcutta is rich and vital despite the harsh conditions in which they live.

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.
