NOTES
This is a crime / mystery thriller with surreal and psychedelic science fiction overtones based on a book Inspector Glebsky's Puzzle by the Strugatsky brothers. The screenplay was also written by the brothers and it differs from the book. The less you know about the movie the better starting point you have. The film is based largely on the mystery of what's happening to the people of Dead Mountaineer's Hotel. Is everything what it seems? Who's dead or who's not?。天河两端,居住着南北二帝王,执念万物生死。一日,两人对弈间兴起赌局,以情之一字为媒介,以生死天劫为赌约,将北斗玄珠投下凡尘,历经三世情劫。。
