518    Originally produced by Kino Lorber Edu in 2013. 
520    When legendary Russian auteur Aleksei German died in 2013,
       he left behind this extraordinary final film, a 
       phantasmagoric adaptation of the revered sci-fi novel by 
       the Strugatsky Brothers (authors of the source novel for 
       Tarkovsky's Stalker). 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.
