Hard to Be a God (Original title - German: Es ist nicht leicht ein Gott zu sein, Russian: Трудно быть богом) is a joint USSR-Germany science fiction film directed by Peter Fleischmann released in 1989. Based on the novel with the same name by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky.
Strugatsky's main request was that the director should be of Soviet origin, possibly Aleksei German. Still, against their will, Fleischmann became the chief of this project. Because of his intractability and a difficult nature Strugatskys stopped contributing to the film and departed from the filming process. As the result the film was heavily criticized by them. (source in Russian)[not in citation given] This led to the 2007 film development.
