Haven't seen the film, but really enjoyed reading the translated Hard To Be A God.

It's brilliant, but... don't expect much plot. Imagine the craziest bits of Aguirre, compressed, moved to another planet, and riffed on for 3 hours.
In any case, about a billion times better than the 1989 version.

Wrote this when I saw it back in april. Rereading, it's really not very good, but oh well. Was a good day, that one.

While I liked the two previous features and this well enough, AG has never been quite my cup of tea. Having a cold and fighting off sleep during a Sat night screening, again not ideal (and so depressing to be sick and old). Anyway...
I guess the narrow range of incident in this film (eggs smashed, noses smashed, claustrophobic handheld, revolting Breughelian faces, mud, milk pouring, interrupted by a singular horse dick) just made everything feel cumulative, and steeped in stasis beyond the stony "non"-narrative feel? (Because there is a plot, and it does advance, it just isn't foregrounded in any usual way.) I thought the salient takeaway was posted by P Labuza on L'boxed:
Anyways, if you tell me where any of the crew of this movie was possibly standing at any moment, please do, because the effect of a 360 degree reality here is astonishing.
