Détournement and Reimagining of the movie French sinologist, situationist writer, and filmmaker René Viénet repurposed footage primarily from the movie Crush to make his 1973 situationist film Can Dialectics Break Bricks? Using an approach known as “détournement,” generally employed to raise awareness about political and social issues, Viénet inlaid Crush with Marxist ideas. He creatively replaced or overdubbed the original Chinese dialogues with French ones, in addition to re-editing the footage., Archived on 31 August 2025
