Astonishing Vitriolic SCI-FI Miserablism! Aleksei Guerman's Hard to be a God
When: Sat., Oct. 24, 7-11 p.m. 2015
The action of this sci-fi film is set on a planet parallel to earth that knew no Renaissance (let alone an Enlightenment) and keeps its inhabitants, with their modern-day consciousness and vernacular, trapped in the low-tech crudeness and amoral violence of the Middle Ages.
