that's very interesting and i'm sure true in part, but when you see the movie you will know why they couldn't have liked it. it's quite critical even on the surface, showing widespread poverty for one thing, and then things like illegal markets. i don't know how he could have been allowed to shoot that sort of material and get it out of the country. it's quite unimaginable that such a movie would be shot in the USSR at the time. they would have checked his footage at least before letting him out! it seems like Chinese had slacker ideological control, in a way. out of being uninformed, probably, but still.
