Julia Garner’s Closet Picks

The actor selects two beloved portraits of Hollywood, All About Eve and Shampoo; talks about how Do the Right Thing captures the grit and beauty of New York; and shares why the work of John Cassavetes made her want to become a performer.

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 1950 to 2019, box sets 1959 to 2000

John Cassavetes: Five Films

Lars von Trier’s Europe Trilogy

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 15films run 31.3 hours. The median visit runs 19.2 hours, over the 375 whose every runtime is on record.

That is 234.8 minutes of film for each of its 8 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 8 choices had been taken by 13 visits each on average, counting a box set as one thing. Every one of them has been taken by somebody else too. The least-picked was Lars von Trier’s Europe Trilogy, taken by 2 visits in total.

This visit reached the work of Bong Joon Ho, through Parasite, who has been in this closet too. Not one of those reaches is returned.
