Those Who Make Revolution Halfway Only Dig Their Own Graves
Those Who Make Revolution Halfway Only Dig Their Own Graves (French: Ceux qui font les révolutions à moitié n'ont fait que se creuser un tombeau) is a 2016 Canadian drama film directed by Mathieu Denis and Simon Lavoie.It stars Charlotte Aubin, Laurent Bélanger, Emmanuelle Lussier-Martinez and Gabrielle Tremblay as four young people, veterans of the 2012 Quebec student protests, who have been disillusioned by the failure of their past activism to effect meaningful social change and now engage in small-scale public vandalism.The film was conceived by co-directors Mathieu Denis and Simon Lavoie, inspired by the 2012 Quebec student protests.[15] In La Presse, Nathalie Petrowski wrote the film was unusual, amazing and occasionally shocking, and was long but not dull at any time.[11] Outside Canada, Scott Tobias, writing for Variety, called it "a tense, mournful, and profoundly ambivalent portrait of radicalism".
