Death in the Seine
Synopsis
From 1795 to 1801, 306 drowned bodies were recovered from the Seine River near Paris. In his work, Peter Greenaway adopts a historical approach, focusing on 25 significant cases of drownings. Each case is cataloged, dissected, and elaborated through multilayered visuals and 'documentary' asides.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 20
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
