Rebecca Miller
The director
Criterion's own upload · on criterion.com
The director of She Came to Me and Personal Velocity talks about the most disturbing films she has ever seen, the sad humor of Miloš Forman, and the poetic-realist masterpiece that might be her favorite movie of all time.
What they took
5 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: Devi, taken by nobody else.

Their five single films come from five 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.
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.
Their decades
Their five 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.
