Ladies Room (2000)

The Radar read

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

Synopsis

At the turn of the century, China experienced drastic transformations in its socioeconomic structure and political system, which brought forth the acceptance of many concepts that had previously been opposed. These included making quick money, "selling" your body, and accepting hidden pornography. Using an inconspicuous hidden camera over the course of several days, Cui Xiuwen artfully captures how nightclub women act during this time – including dressing up, counting money, speaking to family members, and negotiating deals inside the ladies' room at one of the most popular nightclubs in Beijing.

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.
