Boris Vian Opened My Eyes and Broke My Back (2020)

The Radar read

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

Synopsis

Several years after "Mood Indigo," his adaptation of Boris Vian's 1947 novel "Froth on a Daydream," Michel Gondry returns, with his characteristic originality and uniqueness, to further explore his overwhelming experience with Vian's work. Gondry narrates this short autobiographical animation as an homage to his beloved novelist and trumpeter.

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.
