wrong category on Paris, France (film)

The film article Paris, France (film) has the wrong release date listed first: Rather than saying Category:1993 films though it wasn't even released before 1994, it should say Category 1995 films, because 1995 was when the film was released in the most countries and 1994 in others (or 1994 can be listed first). Though it was completed in 1993, it wasn't released then or rated NC-17 until 1994 had already officially started. Can someone please correct the category to either 1994 or 1995 films, as those were the years during which the film was released. Angela Kate Maureen Pears 00:44, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The categorization as 1993 is right, and the article is wrong. According to WP:MOSFILM (see the section on the lead section among others), the year of a movie is the year of its first release, including film festivals. According to the IMDB it played at three film festivals in 1993. One of these was Toronto and I have online access to the Toronto Globe and Mail, so I checked that paper and found the movie reviewed on September 16, 1993, page E2 (column "At the Festival"). There was also a reference on September 13, 1993, page C2, in a column by Kate Fillion, about an after-party that Leslie Hope attended: it says she "was at the party holding her baby and looking absolutely wholesome. 'It's so weird to see her standing over there with clothes on after you've just had a gynecological tour of her body', said one partygoer who'd seen the movie." (According to the IMDB the baby would be MacKenzie James Angell, born May 28, 1993.)
