The writer and director
Also on the shelf as a director: what guests take of theirs
What they took
1 choice, not a box set, so the count of choices and the count of films reached are the same.
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 1, so it sits out of the comparison.
Their decades
Their one single film 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.
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.
1 film · 1 country
Criterion credits one country per film, so a co-production counts only under the country named first.
