Le cinéma ne dit pas autrement les choses, il dit autre chose.
The cinema does not say things differently, it says something else.
Éric Rohmer, French Director
First of all, the following analysis is purely subjective and is in
no way representative of global consumption behaviour.
It is,
however, representative of my cinema consumption since I was 20 years
old and the data has been meticulously collected to arrive at this
conclusion which is a snapshot at a given moment of my cinephilia with
the biases that it generates: I am a young Frenchman who has been more
or less influenced by his choice of films and who obviously has tastes
that cannot be explained but that can be identified.
As a lifelong film enthusiast, I created a database in
September 2019 (1522 days ago) allowing me to track the
films I watch and to structure my cinephilia.
So I have
seen 1088 films in the last few years and I have a list of over 1647
films to see. This analysis is therefore evolving!
Who
are my favourite directors? What are the best films according to me and
according to the press? What kind of films are the most represented?
Which actor is the most present in my filmography? All these questions
will be answered in this report! I will start by giving you an overview
of my film consumption and then go into more detail in the dedicated
sections.
The recipe for a good film? Still unknown but if I had to
summarize the 1088 films I have seen, this is what I can say:
In order to establish a ranking of films, actors, directors… I
had to decide on some rating criteria that will allow me to evaluate the
main elements that make up a film. So here are the 5 criteria I rate out
of 5:
The scenario: Essential for a good film, it
keeps us on the edge of our seats, makes us passionate, questions us and
is in my opinion the most important. A film with an impeccable visual
quality without a script will remain a bad film. Here are for example 3
films that I evaluated with an excellent script: The Curious
Case of Benjamin Button, The Shawshank Redemption or Shutter
Island
Actors and characters: This category is an
indissociable part of the rating system and allows us to identify
whether the casting is successful and therefore whether the actors are
good and correspond perfectly to the character they play. This category
is obviously rated higher than the others since the actors contribute
most to the credibility of a film and most of the time give their best
as in : Slumdog Millionaire, The Prestige or Forrest
Gump
Atmosphere and concept: Each film has its own
universe that can transport us and sometimes we want to see more… or
not! The atmosphere of the film allows us to stay hooked to the plot and
to feel unique emotions. The concept allows innovation in an environment
that we think is already saturated but we will see that many recent
films have really new concepts like : Little Miss Sunshine,
Green Book or The Truman Show
Visual aspect: The aesthetics of the film is a
central element. The visual aspect consists in evaluating the visual
beauty of the film, its risk-taking, its camera movements, its editing,
its special effects, its photography etc. Here are some films with an
interesting visual aspect: The Green Mile, Isle of Dogs or
Killers of the Flower Moon
Sound aspect: Finally, the sound aspect echoes
the atmosphere of the film as it echos both the soundtrack and all the
work done on sound, sound effects etc. to make it all coherent. Although
the soundtrack has a central place in the evaluation of this criterion,
some films enjoy quite incredible sound effects that sometimes absorb
the musical theme. Here are 3 films with impeccable sound effects:
Whiplash, Oppenheimer or The Imitation Game

This graph represents my film consumption since
1998, the year I was born. The lighter the colour, the more
films I have seen with that rating in that period.
Since 2019, the
creation of my database, we see a greater diversity of bad and good
films with a tendency to be average overall. While the years before the
creation of my file have higher average scores because they correspond
to good films that “must” be seen.
Eventually, the aim will be to
see more films over this period to complete each square from
1 to 5 in score and see a real trend
that I imagine is decreasing.

Among the annual objectives, film consumption is central and must be more or less stable to achieve them. These curves allow us to identify the periodicity of this consumption according to the weeks on a sliding year with the current month on the right. Keeping the current year’s curve above the overall curve may be a priority to complete my cinephilia and achieve my goals. This filmography is a race against time and can be optimised by segmenting the films to see. Each must-see film is scored from 0 to 100% where 100 is the highest level of recommendation. Few are above 90% and can be considered a priority. The Academy Awards can also be an indicator of “quality” but more importantly of visibility, highlighting a variety of films although this selection is heavily influenced. Despite this sectorisation, the list of films to be seen is getting longer as well as shorter, but with a constant viewing frequency of one film per day, the list should be completed.

Même si Hollywood domine
Whenever I talk about the Oscars with my movie-loving friends, I’ve spotted two things that come up regularly:
The Oscars are only about American films and are not representative of world cinema. The quality of the films presented at the Oscars is getting lower and lower.
Out of the 3 categories of films (Best Foreign Language Film, Best Animated Feature, Best Picture), 60% of the films are American but if we remove the category “Best Foreign Language Film” only 19% are not American so YES they dominate the Oscars but not the market…
Here are the best films presented by the countries in this top:
Denmark: Another Round (2020) directed by Thomas Vinterberg
France: The Pianist (2002) directed by Roman Polanski
Germany: Never Look Away (2018) directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck
Japan: Spirited Away (2002) directed by Hayao Miyazaki
United Kingdom: 1917 (2020) directed by Sam Mendes
In 25 years, 15 French films have been nominated for Oscars and it is the second most represented country after the USA (229 films presented).
In this top we find our British friends, a market that is a cousin of American cinema, which once again reflects the desire to have a closed circle. Japan is also here thanks to the animation category which gives it a lot of visibility.
Despite this fine French performance, international cinema is very under-represented and the introduction of the foreign language film category has made it possible to give more visibility to these non-Hollywood markets. Among the great absentees, we will mention India with Bollywood likely to produce good films which unfortunately crosses our borders only too little. Spain is also absent despite its quality European productions and a market with the wind in its sails.
For the quality on the other hand the nominated films are about the same average for 25 years (~7.9/10) but the winners have a lower average and is therefore not a guarantee of appreciation of the public but of an established jury.
The films presented are obviously linked to political and economic issues that go far beyond the consumers, so I would say to be wary of what is presented as not representative. However, these films are overall good and will mark the year of their nominations!
