MARTINA masterpiece of cinema purulent deploys the most beautiful sequence shots in a bath of mud. Mud, snot, grime, piss, vomit and mud again. Just like the work of Béla Tarr, or yet Andrei Tarkovsky, Hard to Be a God (based on a novel written by The Strugatsky brothers, whose work also provided the inspiration for Tarkovsky’s Stalker) is a visceral and compelling work. Aleksei German’s extraordinary film reminds me also Carl Th. Dreyer's Passion of Joan of Arc, with its camera work and emphasis on the actors' facial features. The film is a grotesque and deranged and Hieronymus Bosch-like, absolute genius vision of an Apocalypse (with high doses of amphetamines).Created on 2/11/2015
