CHEESE (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

CHEESE! Anglo-Saxon expression whose pronunciation invites a smile... SMILE... French word widely recommended to cheerleaders. The popular festivals and the parade of drum bands seem to no longer be able to do without the participation of the cheerleading troops. This habit, directly imported from the U.S.A, is particularly widespread in the cities of the Nord Pas-de-Calais Mining Basin. CHEESE therefore invites us to dive into this small world with well-established habits. The gaze is sometimes critical but the general tone is humorous. CHEESE was entirely filmed in Somain, in the North, on the occasion of a large gathering of cheerleaders coming from many cities of the region.

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.
