Doce Brasil Holandês (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

Two historians, the Brazilian Kalina Vanderlei and the German Sabrina van der Ley, met in Recife in March 2009 to investigate the roots and contradictions of the myth about the Dutch invasion of Pernambuco in the 17th century. Nassau (who ruled Dutch Brazil from Recife between 1637 and 1644) is defined by some residents of Recife as "the best mayor the city has ever had." To this day, that time is remembered as better than the present. But why would a people miss an invader?

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.
