The Big Picture Russian cinema is home to many bonkers and wild films that push viewers out of their comfort zone and challenge any assumptions that Western audiences might have about the process of film-making and the concept of storytelling. From revolutionary documentaries that break all the rules to the meditative, slow-moving poetic cinema of Andrei Tarkovsky, Russia's cinematic approach challenges the notions and preconceptions of all audiences.

Aleksei German was known during his career as a profoundly anti-Stalinist artist, with many of his films being banned throughout his career at home. In this light, Hard to Be a God can be viewed as an anti-Stalinist, anti-Communist film and one that scolds the time period in Russia, or the Soviet Union, in which German himself grew up.
It isn't just the inhabitants of Arkanar that are dirty, though. The buildings are dilapidated and are about to fall down, any interiors shown are cluttered with debris and tchotchkes, and there is an overwhelming sense of decay and neglect within the society. Some films, like Akira Kurosawa's astonishing Seven Samurai, revel in showing the natural elements battling against the small, backward, rural town. Hard to Be a God can absolutely be lumped into that category too.
