Tristram Shandy

A self-obsessed actor's chaotic journey to portray the famously digressive Tristram Shandy collides with his co-star's equal ambition, turning a literary adaptation into a battle of egos and interpretation.

Because everyone loves an accurate period piece.

Comedy

Synopsis

Steve Coogan, an actor known for his arrogance, low self-esteem, and complicated love life, portrays the eponymous character in an adaptation of "The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman," filmed at a stately home. He frequently clashes with Rob Brydon, who plays Uncle Toby and considers his role to be as significant as Coogan's.

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.
