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

About This Movie

So, 'One More Effort, Chinamen, if you want to be revolutionaries!' is a bit of a departure for Viénet. Unlike his earlier works, this one's more of a political essay rather than a 'detourned' drama. The atmosphere is pretty tense and thought-provoking, using a lot of archival footage of Chinese leaders, which gives it a raw, almost urgent feel. It moves quickly, constantly shifting through various sources, which keeps you engaged but also challenges your perspective on Mao's legacy. It's definitely distinctive for its bold critique, and you can see how it fits into the broader context of revolutionary cinema, even if it might not have the same visceral punch as his other films.

This film is relatively scarce and not as widely circulated as Viénet's more theatrical works. It's been released in a few formats, but collectors tend to seek out the original print or any limited editions that feature additional context or commentary. Interest in the film has surged among those studying political cinema and the legacy of Mao, making it a unique piece for anyone interested in revolutionary film history.
