The Time of Silence (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

In Slavonia in the 1970ies it was still common practice to send old people to a decrepit house, usually on the edge of a forest, where they'd be left waiting for death. This is a document about one such wait for death, of an 86-year-old farmer Antun Babić from the Slavonian village Babina Greda.

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.
