The Dust of Modern Life (2021)

The Radar read

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

Synopsis

Once a year, Liem, a young man from an ethnic minority in Vietnam, leaves his ordinary life behind and retreats to the jungle with his friends. During his "time out," he tries to maintain an ancient tradition that is threatening to disappear, as is the forest it takes place in.

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.
