Suggestion to update the global policy for French-language titles

Actually, according to the most widely accepted French typographical standards (like those followed by the Bibliothèque nationale de France or the Petit Robert), when a title begins with an adjective that precedes a noun, both the adjective and the noun are capitalized. Thus, 'Belle de Jour' is the correct orthography regardless of it being a nickname.

​The same applies to titles like 'La Grande Illusion'.

My point is that French titles have a sophisticated capitalization logic that IMDb’s 'sentence case' completely ignores. If we can respect German noun capitalization, it's only fair to respect the rules of French-language titles to maintain the database's integrity.

La Grande Illusion follows the rule for titles that begin with the definite article.

Belle de jour does not begin with an article, and belle should probably be read as a noun.

Actually, whether an article would be present or not, "belle" is here regarded as a noun. Note that it cannot be an adjective applied to "jour", because "jour" is masculine and "belle" is feminine, and there is the preposition "de". AlloCiné writes "Belle de Jour", but AlloCiné does not follow any rule (capitalization there is rather random).

Personally, I prefer the "sentence case" rule currently used on the IMDb. AFAIK, the rule used by the Académie française has been useful mainly when these were no styles in order to ease the identification of a title in text. But the use of styles like italic and other special appearance with links (e.g. another color) makes this rather useless. And "sentence case" has the advantage of being simpler.
