Synopsis

Max visits a doctor who prescribes a tonic—Bordeaux of Cinchona—for him to drink every morning. Upon returning home, he notices a large glass left by his wife, labeled "Souvenir de Bordeaux." Assuming it to be his prescribed medicine, Max drinks its entirety. Almost immediately, he begins to feel much better. The story then follows Max as he goes about his day in a visibly inebriated state, leading to a series of comedic and chaotic events.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

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.
