Royal Jelly (1980)

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 upon a time, there was an empire where the sun never set. This empire had a court. This court had a king, but this king had no heir. They married the king, who understood that copulation was a duty of state and attempted it with exemplary dedication, but failed. The entire court, from the nobility to the jesters, gets down to work, sparing no means or methods, to produce the desired heir, and they reach a conclusion: the king has been bewitched and needs be exorcised.

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.
