Films of 1970
1970 was the most ambiguous year of its era.
Across 48 well-known films, 1970 reads higher on ambiguity than the decade around it — 42.7 against 38.1, a gap of 4.6. Every year is measured against its own era rather than against all of cinema, because a slow trend is not a year’s signature.
