Xian Blues (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

The film mainly tells that there is a "Worry-Relief Barbershop" in an unremarkable street under the city wall. Guests who come to have a haircut can confide in their hearts at will. The boss, A Quan, will patiently listen to every customer tell their story. A Quan also has a small world in his heart. He firmly believes that when the meteor shower comes, all his wishes can be realized, but no one believes it. Until one day he met Ye Zhenzhen, a terminally ill girl, and they were in love with each other.

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.
