Big Time – The House (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

This work celebrated the television corner. A social corner where the family meet and ritually watch TV. The images are of Glasgow, some are set ups, most are chance moments that I spent long hours waiting for. The work examines the dramaturgy of the moment, the falseness of making, consuming, waiting for a moment to take place. The wonderful moment of witnessing a different television moment, an art moment on TV. - Stephen Littman

Synopsis and metadata sourced from The Movie Database (TMDB).

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.
