What they took

4 choices, of which one is a box set, which is why they reach 43 films.

The one box set is what carries the reach to 43 films.

02

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.

416 visits compared · 32 filmed-together pairs excluded

Nobody close enough to name

A visit needs at least 5 choices to be compared at all, and a pair at least 2 in common to count as close. This visit took 4, so it sits out of the comparison.

03

Their decades

Their three 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.

04

Where their films come from

Every film they reached, box sets opened, by the country Criterion credits, against the collection's own mix. Countries they never reached are not rows, so the shelf's column does not add up to everything on the shelf.

43 films · 4 countries

Criterion credits one country per film, so a co-production counts only under the country named first.

Their strongest lean is Sweden: 39 of the 43 films they reached, 91% against 4% of the shelf.
