Vola sciusciù (2000)

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 war-torn Puglia, mute homeless but childlike in spirit fifty-year-old Sciusciù witnesses three Allied paratroopers landing one night and resolves to guide them to safety. He brings them to his trusted friend Annamaria’s farmhouse, persuading her to hide and protect the fugitives.

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.
