À l'ombre d'un été (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

Ruthless lawyer Claude Landot thinks he hit the jackpot when he meets sweet and shy Anna Bellecour : in spite of her humble life, he finds out that she's bound to get a huge heritage. After seducing her and having her falling madly in love with him, he soon discovers that there will be no money in the end... His behavior towards Anna then radically changes, leaving her totally helpless, on the brink of suicide.

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.
