Thank you for recommending we look at these photographers as well.

I was unimpressed. That sort of photography was very common during the period of the Soviet Union and I have books containing many images of that sort, which I find much more to my taste.

Unless you care to explain the criteria that govern your "taste", your comment is just belligerent.

You should probably say the same to everybody who love it without explainations of taste 😀

The photos, the film, its about life, human spirit.

Interesting to compare to Arbus and Maier.

dont think it was done to impress you, besides the programme is about much more than photography...guess you missed that.

Why do you need to attack me because I don't agree with you? That seems like a very strange reaction and really, I find it rather sad.

I'm sorry that you feel that my opinion is unacceptable.

Surely, it is a matter of taste

Indeed, and that is all that needs to be said on the matter.

Thanks for the link. It was broadcast on Swedish television several times, but I managed to miss it. Maud Nycander is a fine photographer in her own right, and she became a great documentary filmmaker in the past decade.
