Answering Kudrophobia


Here are ten films which premièred in France and came from US.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nocturnal_Animals
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Grande_Muraille_(film,_2016)
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Face
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_to_Be_Blue
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Birth_of_a_Nation_(film,_2016)
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/XXx:_Reactivated
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_by_Night
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/30_Days_in_Atlanta
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tous_en_sc%C3%A8ne_(film,_2016)

Now, taking producer, director, screenplay, three main actors, I get these results:





7 % if we take only Jews. 18 % if we add people probably not Jewish themselves but of Jewish connexions.

Overrepresented? Probably. Dominant? Not in numbers, at least.

And if we take another minority, known Christian affiliation is higher than known Jewish one : 11 % for the 3 Catholics, one Anglican (even if they say Episcopalian over across the Atlantic), one Mormon or probably ex-Mormon and one with at least acquaintance with Church of Christ.

Pepperdine college is also where the recent convert to Catholicism, Lizzie Reezay, went. Definitely not a place for confessional Jews. They would certainly be respected, but as certainly feel somewhat out of place.

Disclaimer : "not Jewish" or "pas Juif / pas Juive" means not known to be Jewish.

This means, the Jewish stats for those films could rise, if some people with no background or no religious clue in background come forth as saying they are Jewish./HGL
