René Viénet
René Viénet (born 6 February 1944 in Le Havre) is a French sinologist who is famous as a situationist writer and filmmaker.
Viénet used the situationist technique of détournement — the diversion of already existing cultural elements to new subversive purposes.
Can Dialectics Break Bricks?
La dialectique peut-elle casser des briques ?
, in English, "Can Dialectics Break Bricks?", is a 1973 Situationist film produced by the French director René Viénet which explores the development of class conflict through revolutionary agitation against a backdrop of graphic kung-fu fighting.
For its visuals the film uses 1972 martial arts film "Crush" by Tu Guangqi, which tells the story of anti-colonialist revolt in Korea during the period of Japanese occupation.
The source film was dubbed over by the filmmakers as an example of détournement.
Viénet's intention was to adapt a "spectacular" film typical of the film industry to the purposes of a radical critique of cultural hegemony and thus an expression of subversive revolutionary ideals.
The narrative focuses on a conflict between proletarians and bureaucrats within state capitalism.
The proletarians enlist their grasp of dialectics in the fight against their oppressors, while the bureaucrats defend themselves using a combination of co-optation and violence.
The film is noted for its humorous approach to this subject matter.
The film also contains numerous celebratory references to revolutionaries who fought for the realisation of a post-capitalist world, including Marx, Bakunin, and Wilhelm Reich, as well as scathing criticism directed toward the French Communist Party, trade unionism and Maoism.
Subplots dealing with issues of gender equality, alienation, the Paris Commune, May 1968 and situationist politics itself are riddled throughout the film.
One More Effort, Chinamen, if you want to be revolutionaries!
Chinese People,
One more effort, to be revolutionaries!
(" Chinois, encore un effort pour être révolutionnaires")
a.k.a. Peking Duck Soup is a 1977 film by Situationist director René Viénet.
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.
The Girls of Kamare
The Girls of Kamare(" Les Filles de Kamare")( 1974) is a Situationist film by René Viénet.
Unlike Viénet's previous work," Can dialectics break bricks?"( 1973)," The Girls of Kamare" includes original 16 mm hardcore inserts shot by Viénet.
The title is a pun on the famous french bawdy song Les Filles de Camaret.
The film is the detournement of the Tōei" sukeban" film( 1972) directed by Norifumi Suzuki.
The title of the original film is given as" Une petite culotte pour l'été", director credited as" Suzuki Noribumi".
Opening credits are taken from the 1973 film" Female Yakuza Tale: Inquisition and Torture" of Teruo Ishii.
While" Can dialectics break bricks?" was essentially a dub parody, the film keeps the original Japanese sound track with indelicate French subtitles.
The plot follows a team of female heroes, forced into a disciplinary school, who revolt against the authorities and their assistants.
The original Japanese film ends in a successful riot which plays directly into Viénet's detournement.
Unlike" Dialectics The Girls of Kamare" is less self- critical and relies more on traditional conceptions of heroism.
