What they took

5 choices, of which one is a box set, which is why they reach 7 films.

The one box set is what carries the reach to 7 films.

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.

416 visits compared · 32 filmed-together pairs excluded

03

Their decades

Their four 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.

04

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.

7 films · 3 countries

Criterion credits one country per film, so a co-production counts only under the country named first.

Their strongest lean is Sweden: 3 of the 7 films they reached, 43% against 4% of the shelf.
