Synopsis

*The Nun*, a novel by Denis Diderot, was published posthumously in 1796. Diderot had not intended for it to be released during his lifetime, aware of its revolutionary nature. The novel caused a significant stir in 19th-century France, and again in the 1960s when Jacques Rivette adapted it into a film, starring Anna Karina in the lead role. General de Gaulle reportedly declared, “This film is banned and it will remain so!” The story explores themes of modernity through the tragic fate of Suzanne, a young woman imprisoned in a convent against her will, highlighting the injustices of a society that denies women moral, political, and sexual freedom.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

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.
