Abstract

This project has the aim of analyse and understand the cinephiliac universe that is becoming more and more important in the new digital media by taking into account the way people discuss films on Internet. The research is going to be focused in the opinion and rankings constructed by digital cinephiles, specialists or not, that discuss films on the Internet Movie Database (IMDB). The analysis will be based on the lecture of theoretical authors such as Antoine de Baecque and Thierry Frémaux. (AU)
