Agustín Jiménez

Cinematographer · Died January 1, 1974, aged 73 · Mexico City, Mexico

Agustín Jiménez was a pioneer cinematographer and photographer during the first half of the 20th century in Mexico. His images were published in mass circulation print media such as Excélsior, El Universal Ilustrado and Revista de revistas. In the mid-1930s he became involved with the nascent national film industry, first as a still photographer and then as a cinematographer, which he did until his death in 1974.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
