Prabu Anglingdarma (Balada Cinta Anglingdarma) (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

Anglingdarma (Baron Hermanto), the ruler of his homeland, acquires the magical ability to understand the language of animals, but is forbidden to share the secret of how to do this with anyone. Unfortunately, one night, when Anglingdarma is making love with his wife, he overhears some humorous remarks being made by two house lizards in the room, and bursts out laughing. His wife becomes very angry, and after Anglingdarma explains what happened, his wife demands that he teach her how to do the same thing. Anglingdarma refuses to reveal the secret. His wife, who believes that he does not love her anymore, decides to burn herself to death.

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.
