Edipeon (1970)

The Radar read

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

Synopsis

Gianni, a young engineer, is unable to have his own love life because of his unhealthy attraction to his mother. That all changes when he meets Lola in a brothel. He falls madly in love with her and wants to marry her, but she refuses so he tries to kill himself. Gianni’s brother, Paolo, who lives a carefree and irresponsible existence with other beatniks, tries to help Gianni get over his anguish by forcing Lola to marry him. (Digitmovies)

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.
