The Nun
“The banned film by Jacques Rivette”
Synopsis
In eighteenth-century France, a young girl is compelled to take vows as a nun against her will. Three different mother superiors respond to her presence in the convent with markedly different attitudes: one shows maternal concern, another subjects her to sadistic persecution, and the third is driven by lesbian desire.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 19
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.
