Like the Saragossa Manuscript, a Blu-ray/DVD definitely deserves to be owned for repeated viewing.
I would also draw people's attention to the 1989 German-Soviet Union-French-Swiss version, 'Es ist nicht leicht ein Gott zu sein', which, though very different in form and structure to the 2013 version, is definitely worth a watch. share
