The legendary director—whose latest film, EO, is Poland’s official entry for Best International Feature Film at the 95th Academy Awards—picks a few movies from our closet, including classics by his friends Jan Němec and Andrzej Wajda.
What they took
7 cases, in the order Criterion lists them. None of them is a box set, so the count of choices and the count of films reached are the same.

Their seven single films come from four different countries, with no one of them leading.
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 seven 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.
