Synopsis

Instead of sending a written explanation for his absence from the press conference for his latest film at the Cannes Film Festival, *Goodbye to Language*, legendary filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard created a video titled "Letter in motion to (Cannes president) Gilles Jacob and (artistic director) Thierry Fremaux." The video alternates between Godard speaking cryptically about his "path" and key scenes from his classic films such as *Alphaville* and *King Lear*, which features Burgess Meredith and Molly Ringwald. It also includes quotes from poet Jacques Prévert and philosopher Hannah Arendt.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

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.
