Lua Perversa (2010)

The Radar read

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

Synopsis

In the early 20th century, José Diogo, a man born and raised in Porto Alegre, decides to visit some relatives who live in an isolated rural area in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul. Upon arriving there, amid festivities fueled by barbecue, chimarrão, and wine, he is enchanted by the beauty of young Sofia, but also discovers that these people live in fear of the stories of a werewolf that inhabits the region. Incredulous, he decides to investigate and ends up uncovering a terrible secret that will bathe the nights of the full moon in blood. A typically Brazilian werewolf story, based on Gaucho folklore, but told in a different way.

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.
