Films of 1991
1991 was the most beautiful year of its era.
Across 118 well-known films, 1991 reads higher on beauty than the decade around it — 56.2 against 54.6, a gap of 1.6. Every year is measured against its own era rather than against all of cinema, because a slow trend is not a year’s signature.
