Mata Hari (1959)

The Radar read

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

Synopsis

'Mata Hari', the daughter of a kampong headman is captured by the Japanese. She witnesses the atrocities committed by the invaders, who tortured her father to death and round up innocent women to become prostitutes and mistresses for their commanders. Not wanting to cower to the enemy, Mata Hari decides to form and lead a guerilla force to fight the Japanese.

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.
