Een tip van de sluier (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

To vent his own fears of divorce, Bromet follows a divorced 36-year-old woman, Hiske, a mother of two and working as an educational psychologist, through 'the laboratory of happiness'—the playgrounds of the 'me' era—with his camera. Through the life and experiences of this woman, he wants to discover what leads someone to—and what they hope for—from a divorce. The woman ends up in, among other places, a gay sauna, a group sex event, an institute for dynamic meditation, a maternity ward, and a sperm bank. Hiske professes that she is divorced in order to be able to search for her own possibilities without hindrance and regrets that her children no longer have a father. Frans calls her cruel because she took her husband's children away from him. Moreover, he is reinforced in his conviction that women do not wish to delve into men nearly enough.

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.
