Synopsis

Anne-Marie Miéville, a frequent collaborator of Jean-Luc Godard, created this companion piece to Godard's film *Je vous salue, Marie*. The film follows Marie, an eleven-year-old girl, as she navigates a difficult period in her life. Her parents are about to separate, and this event profoundly disrupts her perception of the world. The film offers an exacting portrayal of a child who finds solace in books, music, and dancing. With a dispassionate yet touching approach, it captures the girl's response to the upheaval in her life.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

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.
