The acclaimed actor shares his affection for the dark humor of The Cremator, credits Benicio del Toro with introducing him to the films of Kaneto Shindo, and praises Mexican-cinema classics like Canoa: A Shameful Memory and Amores perros.

01

What they took

6 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 six single films come from five different countries, with no one of them leading.

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.

403 visits compared · 31 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. Nothing this visit took was taken twice over by anybody else.

03

Their decades

Their six 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.
