Cinessance opts for simplicity and familiarity, from selecting your profile, to the scrolling carousels divided by genre.
According to Monnet, this was intentional.
The user experience has been standardized, and people want the Netflix experience, Monnet tells Vulture.
If youve ever played around on the Netflix app, Cinessance comes off as rather intuitive.
Thats how this whole thing started.
Its Pretty Well Curated …
What makes the app stand out on day one is its curation.
The result is a library comprised of independent films, popular hits, and decades-old classics.
Having a curation like this would be a big changer, Monnet tells us.
These artist-specific categories keep things exciting, at least to me.
There are no films by Godard, Jacques Becker, Truffaut, Tati, Carax, or Varda.
In some ways, the launch of the streamer feels more like the hors doeuvres than the entree.
That being said, more options are on the roadmap.
Different subtitles are being added as we speak, Monnet explains.
I want Cinessance to become like a book for students when they enter the class.
