The Cry of the Bird (1990)

The Radar read

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

Synopsis

Picturesque landscapes of Kolguyev Island, conversations with the Nenets, intimate personal reflections of Volodymyr and Ada and their work in the workshop. "The Cry of the Bird" is a philosophical parable, the main character of which is the Kolguyev Island.

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.
