Fabel (1980)
The Radar read
A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.
Synopsis
A woman runs over a dog, and the accident is investigated by the police. She meets a man in a gallery, and they begin a relationship. But aside from this straightforward storyline, nothing about Fabel is simple. It is an absurd film, inspired by Eugène Ionesco and Samuel Beckett’s theatre of the absurd.

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.
