One More Effort, Chinamen, if you want to be revolutionaries! (1977)

One More Effort, Chinamen, if you want to be revolutionaries! (1977)

Documentary
Release Date: 1977, October 1
Directors: René Viénet
Countries: France

Overview:

Unlike his earlier films "Can Dialectics Break Bricks?" and "The Girls of Kamare", which "detourned" drama films, in this one, Viénet uses a great variety of sources (particularly archive footage of People's Republic of China leaders) to compose a political documentary sharply critical of Mao's legacy in China. The title is a reference to the pamphlet "Français, encore un effort si vous voulez être républicains" featured in "Philosophy in the Bedroom" of Marquis de Sade.
