Dear Bosirant - this film was controversial in Russia for NOT being propagandist enough! it is not hideous, Bolshevik or propaganda anymore than what the US was making at the time could be called hideous, Capitalist propaganda at the height of the Depression where poor Americans starved. And in any case Dovzhenko was Ukrainian himself!
It is also, in spite of its beauty, a hideous 1930 Russian Bolshevik propaganda film shot while Moscow's henchmen were planning a genocide in Ukraine that murdered millions of Ukrainians.
when we talk about cinema we have to consider Dovshenko as one of the fathers.This epic movie is a treasure,made by a brilliant communist poet and belongs to every human being.Let us travel to the magic world of pure cinematography
