Lievito Madre (2020)

The Radar read

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

Synopsis

An eighty year old man stuck in quarantine relives the memories of his youth. Triggered by a familiar scent, he travels back in time and rediscovers the simple pleasures of his childhood that were overshadowed by a forced exodous from his homeland and a sudden exile to an unknown country.

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.
