About this film
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
