Pickpocket (1990)

The Radar read

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

Synopsis

Kolyan is an ordinary pickpocket with three terms of imprisonment and a well-formed way of life. Theft is his life, and he does not know what repentance or decency is. Only his small stature is unusual, so small that during one of the thefts he ends up in a purse, from where the owner of the house pulls him out along with ten rubles. The wife is more frightened than if the husband took a live rat out of his pocket, and the little daughter asks to leave this "animal" to her for re-education.

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.
