To Be Mario (2020)

The Radar read

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

Synopsis

Mario is a man who knows everybody, and everybody knows him. He knows all about what is going on in his city of Maribor. But above all, he is a first-class percussionist. He has appeared on stage with some of the greatest Slovenian and international musicians, playing rock, world music, and jazz. At the pinnacle of creativity, Mario learns he has terminal cancer. His prognosis is very poor. The deadline too tight to accept. The desire and will to live too strong to give up. Mario agrees to everything including the most invasive forms of treatment. Time is mercilessly running out.

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.
