The Radar read

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

Synopsis

Just before the final of the ski championships in Kanbayashi, Iba Shunsuke and Kito Tatsuo are hit by an avalanche. Kito Tatsuo's brother Yoichi is killed and Tatsuo breaks his leg. This causes Tatsuo to resent Shunsuke. Six years later, Shunsuke visits Kanbayashi as an engineer for the construction of a ropeway and finds out that Tatsuo is the central figure behind the obstruction of the construction.

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.
