Films of 2006
2006 was the least ambiguous year of its era.
Across 337 well-known films, 2006 reads lower on ambiguity than the decade around it — 27.3 against 29, a gap of 1.7. Every year is measured against its own era rather than against all of cinema, because a slow trend is not a year’s signature.
