My favorite maximalist film maker is Jacques Rivette. His longest picture is Out One, 12 hours (he edited a shorter version called Out One: Spectre at 4 hours.) His Joan of Arc movie Jeanne la pucelle is 6 hours (as a side note, its one of 4 Joan of Arc cinema masterpieces, the others being The Passion of Joan of Arc (Carl Theodor Dryer,) Joan of Arc at the Stake (Roberto Rossellini,) and The Trial of Joan of Arc (Robert Bresson.) But my favorite Rivette picture is Celine and Julie Go Boating at just over 3 hours.
