The writer and director
Also on the shelf as a director: what guests take of theirs
What they took
8 choices, of which five are box sets, which is why they reach 24 films.
The five box sets are what carry the reach to 24 films.
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
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.
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.
24 films · 12 countries
Criterion credits one country per film, so a co-production counts only under the country named first.
Their strongest lean is France: 8 of the 24 films they reached, 33% against 16% of the shelf.
