Phantomanie (2010)

The Radar read

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

Synopsis

Larry is a misfit stranded in Berlin, the pilgrim capital of the lost and haunted. Whatever he does goes wrong. Yet he still can't help acting like a smartass in order to make him feel self-important about his desolate life. But Larry's life is on downward spiral… Pressurised by his girlfriend Lilly, who drives him crazy with her obsession about having a baby, threatened by Kokser, a man to whom he owns money, and trying to dodge an ominous preacher called Klaus, who takes the words of Bible as literal truth, Larry seeks help from Bruno, a homeless drifter, crossing the border between dreams and reality...

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.
