Wlad el Bahja (2010)

The Radar read

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

Synopsis

Nizar, representative of a real estate company in Tangier, inherited a Riad in Marrakech. However, his wife Salma refuses to settle there because she does not support the red city and its inhabitants who find them flabby and not very serious. Nizar therefore decides to introduce some reforms in Riyadh to sell them to the highest bidder. Unfortunately for him, Nizar finds himself surrounded by false workers, who do not control anything, which complicate his life and delay his workshop. But over time, this young person will find himself more and more adapted to his new city, to his rites and to the warmth of its inhabitants.

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.
