FBA: Sweet Journey revew
Modest but interesting road movie centred on two rural kids on the cusp of New China.
Shot in 2009 but only released in spring 2011 — when it ended up being released the same day as director YAN Ran's second feature, mine disaster movie Together.

The pictures featured lots of nudity and adult content. Some people even questioned whether the movie can survive the strict movie censorship of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT).
