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.

The Complete Films of Agnès Varda

Six Moral Tales

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 36films run 57 hours. The median visit runs 19.2 hours, over the 375 whose every runtime is on record.

That is 341.8 minutes of film for each of its 10 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 10 choices had been taken by 9.5 visits each on average, counting a box set as one thing. One of them has been taken by nobody else. The least-picked was A Man and a Woman, taken by this visit alone.
