Synopsis

Paparazzi examines the dynamic between Brigitte Bardot and the photographers who relentlessly pursue her while she works on the set of Jean-Luc Godard's Le Mépris (Contempt). Using video footage of Bardot, interviews with the paparazzi, and still photographs from magazine covers and other sources, director Rozier explores the consequences of international movie stardom, particularly the erosion of privacy caused by the media. The film details the production's location on the island of Capri and the photographers' persistent, often dangerously reckless efforts to capture images of Bardot.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
