A.German is one of my favorite directors, but something keeps me from watching Hard to Be a God. Probably out of fear of being disappointed after reading so many negative reviews. But he does have a unique, inimitable style. His cinematography is as far from the mainstream as it can get. His signature chaotic dialogues and remarks, as if you are watching casual home video, except as we know everything that happens in German's films is staged and well thought through to the smallest detail. He can be sadistic to the viewer, as well as warm and melancholic. One thing I can guarantee you, watch any of his films and you will never forget it, whether you liked it or not.
