Films of 2008
2008 was the least intimate year of its era.
Across 363 well-known films, 2008 reads lower on intimacy than the decade around it — 50.6 against 51.8, a gap of 1.2. Every year is measured against its own era rather than against all of cinema, because a slow trend is not a year’s signature.
