A better version than the 1971 one

A less nudist, less caricatured, less funny and darker version, but just as anthropological as 'Qu'il était bon, mon petit Français! (1971)", which was more of a comedy than a documentary.

Both versions are interesting, but "Hans Staden" wins by a narrow margin overall, the 1971 version being more Voltaire-like philosophical entertainment.

Both versions reflect on the nature of man, civilisation and barbarism.

The nudity is omnipresent but less heavy-handed and more natural in this version, which I prefer.

As I have not read Hans Staden's travelogues, I cannot comment on the accuracy of either version, except for the finale, which is much more faithful in this version..
