Synopsis

Maurice Pialat rose to prominence in cinema through just ten films, driven by a relentless pursuit of truth and a passionate commitment to capturing it. His first feature film, *L'Enfance nue*, released when he was 43, immediately established his distinct style, described by Chabrol as "the art of making things authentic." Across an unconventional filmography that functions like an autobiography—covering themes ranging from a breakup to the experience of fatherhood and the suffering of his mother—Pialat consistently grappled with a sense of being misunderstood, even as he gained international recognition.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
