The Swan (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 film miniature set to classical music by Camille Saint-Saëns, animated in loose matter with colored salt directly under the camera by Aleksandra Korejwo. From the undefined matter, the figure of a dancing girl emerges, soon transforming into a swan. From the rippling water, the swan takes flight, then seamlessly transforms back into a girl. The girl's dance and the bird's flight intertwine. The girl is enchanted into a swan, the swan enchanted into a girl. Their shapes merge, creating a unity.

Based on the age rating and content tags — not a full scene-by-scene list.
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.
