The writer and director
Criterion's own upload · on criterion.com
The writer and director of All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt selects films that have left an indelible mark on her sensibility, praising the revelatory inspiration of Lynne Ramsay’s short films and the visceral effect of The Piano Teacher, and shouting out the “legend” Barry Jenkins.
What they took
10 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.
Least-picked choice here: Eve’s Bayou, taken by nobody else.

Their ten single films come from six 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 ten 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.
