Serenity! (1970)
The Radar read
A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.
Synopsis
A sadean "huit clos". Originally inspired by Octave Mirbeau's Garden of Torture. A banquet organized by a lord (Hervé de Luze) and his companion (Anne Angel), turns into an orgy and the forced marriage of two guests. Happiness in crime, hence the title of the film. The film was shot with real blood and animal skulls.

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.
