Lange Schatten (1990)

The Radar read

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

Synopsis

Amir and his friends have a righteous anger against the Ayatollah state, and a rather eccentric plan for how they can give it shape: They cobble together a really trashy, scruffy anti-Khomeini video, which should then be secretly distributed around Iran and carry out its subsersive effects. When the Iranian secret service gets wind of this tape, the hunt begins, blood will flow. Battle zone cinema.

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.
