Pierrot le Fou
Disillusioned office worker Ferdinand abandons his mundane life to flee with runaway lover Marianne, racing across France toward the Mediterranean while evading relentless Algerian assassins.
“You've met the tame Godard, the love Godard, the think Godard, ...now meet the wild Godard!”
Synopsis
Pierrot leaves his dull life behind and journeys from Paris to the Mediterranean Sea with Marianne, a girl being pursued by hitmen from Algeria. Together, they live an unconventional existence, constantly moving and evading danger.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 23
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.
