Films of 1973
1973 was the most spiritual year of its era.
Across 57 well-known films, 1973 reads higher on spirituality than the decade around it — 30.8 against 26.2, 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.
