What they took

4 choices, of which four are box sets, which is why they reach 17 films.

The four box sets are what carry the reach to 17 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

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.

17 films · 4 countries

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

Their strongest lean is Denmark: 4 of the 17 films they reached, 24% against 1% of the shelf.
