Synopsis

The theme of death is prominently featured in Smolder’s surreal tribute to Belgian painter Antoine Wiertz, an artist in the style of Hieronymus Bosch whose work depicted humans in various stages of torment, often presented in large-scale canvases filled with graphic imagery. Smolders has adapted a conventional documentary format by fragmenting it, incorporating quotes from the deceased artist and interspersing commentary from a historian (Smolders) that provides details about Wiertz’s life.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
