Synopsis

This film has a more defined narrative than most in the set, though it remains peculiar and unpredictable by today's standards. It features several surreal and unsettling moments, including a scene where the devil's face appears in an egg and spews coins, and a finale in which the protagonist is sent to a hell filled with eggs.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

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.
