Yarlung (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

This whimsical tale employs fluidly animated charcoal drawings to relate the stories of three Tibetan children who live in the town of Tezu, Arunachal Pradesh. Faced with a death in the family, each child expresses themself differently, via their relationship with the Yarlong Tsangpo river—the upper stream of the Brahmaputra, and the longest waterway in Tibet.

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.
