This visit as a strip, a cell for each choice: paler the older the film, indigo for a box set, which is one cell however many films it holds. The order is the order Criterion's own page lists them in, which is probably but not provably the order they came off the shelf.

How far across film history it reaches

Where this haul sits in film history single films 1953 to 1991, box sets 1949 to 1992

The Complete Jacques Tati

Eclipse Series 31: Three Popular Films by Jean-Pierre Gorin

Pierre Etaix

3 Films by Roberto Rossellini Starring Ingrid Bergman

a single film, at its year a box set, across the years of its films the collection, by decade

The axis is the same 1920 to 2030 on every visit page, so a haul that stayed inside one decade looks like one. A box set is drawn across the years of the films inside it, which is a range of release dates and not a claim about the set. Nothing here is in the order the choices were made: displayed position moves film year by a fifth of one percent of its variance, which is not a slope worth drawing.

How long this haul is

Its 24films run 37.8 hours. The median visit runs 19.2 hours, over the 375 whose every runtime is on record.

That is 206 minutes of film for each of its 11 choices, counting a box set as the one choice it was. Across the 375 visits with a complete total, the median is 136.4 minutes.

How unusual this haul was

Its 11 choices had been taken by 6.45 visits each on average, counting a box set as one thing. Two of them have been taken by nobody else. The least-picked was Europa, taken by this visit alone.

This visit reached the work of Alfonso Cuarón, through Sólo con tu pareja, who has been in this closet too. Not one of those reaches is returned.
