The Dreamseller (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

A schoolboy Karim, who is fond of electronics, unexpectedly finds himself in a fairyland, in the laboratory of the wizard Ogima, who has been looking for a capable student for a long time. Ogima comes up with dreams - sweet and funny, being sure that he is doing good for ordinary people. It turns out that more than two people need to stand in a circle around a magic mirror and hold hands — then everything you dream about will come true. But the ruler makes the last move — she has released all dreams, people can sleep for 100 years.

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.
