Joligud (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

This was the first feature-length film produced in the Venezuelan region of Zulia, shot in the city of Maracaibo by local filmmaker Augusto Pradelli. The plot centres around Sarita, a beautiful young woman who has been predestined to be an actress since she was a child. Headshots of her are sent to Metro Goldwyn Mayer, in hopes of making her a big star and thus help prevent the imminent demolition of the Maracaibo neighbourhood of El Saladillo where she lives in. Everyone anxiously awaits the answer, which may never come.

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.
