(1973, 90 min., video) in a video version subtitled by filmmaker Keith Sanborn. ?Made in 1973, one year after the dissolution of the Situationist International, Rene Veinet?s refashioning of a Chinese martial arts film is heir to a body of nearly twenty years of theoretical reflection and practice by the I. It is both an extraordinary realization of radical subjectivity by Vienet and a prime model of the Situationist tactic of detournement in the cinema.
