Emergence Of Eunice (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 wryly ironic, deadpan voice-over belies the anxieties, fears and obsessions in the everyday life of a misunderstood adolescent; whose most intimate relationship is with her diary. A spare graphic style, an animation variant on New Wave / Punk, is powerfully effective in conveying unarticulated emotions. Felt tip on paper, backlit.

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.
