... aka Otel 'U pogibshchego alpinista' (Soviet Union)
... aka The Dead Mountaineer Hotel (USA)
Fascinating Russian film that combines the detective and science-fiction genres and examines and expands on their narrative forms. A police inspector is summoned to a mysterious hotel situated high in the snowy Ala-Tau mountains of Kazakhstan. Upon his arrival, he is surprised to find no crime but instead a strange group of guests inhabiting the hotel. After a series of strange and inexplicable events, the detective begins to surmise that he is surrounded by a hotel full of beings from another planet. The film becomes a bizarre game wherein the detective must adjust his manner of deductive thinking to a set of beings totally alien to him. He must learn to ignore his normal, human thought patterns and adopt a completely new mode of analytical consciousness. Winner of the Trieste festival of 1980.
