Hard to be a God began percolating in German's consciousness in the mid-1960s, and would actively consume him for the last 15 years of his life. He brought the film close enough to completion for his wife and son to apply the finishing touches immediately after his passing. Taking place on the planet Arkanar, which is in the midst of its own Middle Ages, the film focuses on DonRumata (Leonid Yarmolnik), one of a group of Earth scientists who have been sent to Arkanar with the proviso that they must not interfere in the planet's political or historical development. Treated by the planet's natives as a kind of divinity,Don Rumata is both godlike and impotent in the face of its chaos and brutality. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Strugat︠s︡kiĭ, Boris,|d1933-2012|xFilm adaptations. 600 10 Strugat︠s︡kiĭ, Arkadiĭ,|d1925-1991|xFilm adaptations. 600 10 Strugat︠s︡kiĭ, Boris,|d1933-2012. 600 10 Strugat︠s︡kiĭ, Arkadiĭ,|d1925-1991. 650 0 Human-alien encounters|vDrama. 650 0 Extraterrestrial beings|vDrama. 650 0 Scientists|vDrama. 650 0 Plurality of worlds|vDrama. 650 0 Civilization, Medieval|vDrama. 650 0 Intellectuals|vDrama. 650 0 Regression (Civilization)|vDrama. 650 0 Civilization, Medieval. 650 0 Extraterrestrial beings. 650 0 Human-alien encounters. 650 0 Intellectuals. 650 0 Interplanetary voyages. 650 0 Plurality of worlds. 650 0 Regression (Civilization). 650 0 Scientists. 655 7 Feature films.|2lcgft 700 1 German, Alekseĭ,|efilm director. 710 2 Kanopy (Firm) 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.kanopy.com/node/173814|Available on Kanopy 856 42 |zCover Image|uhttps://www.kanopy.com/node/173814/external -image
