While in New York City for a theatrical run of his 1984 film The Runner, the Iranian filmmaker took a trip into our closet, where he gravitated to ambitious, sprawling works like A Brighter Summer Day and Dekalog.

Poland accounts for one of their two single films. The three box sets are what carry the reach to 11 films.
Closest taste
Jaccard overlap against every other visit, counted on what came off the shelf rather than on films, so a shared box set counts once rather than as the films inside it.

Their decades
Their two single films with a release year on record, against where every guest's single-film picks land. Box sets are left out of both sides, so the two bars measure the same thing.
