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?。电影《龙牌之谜》讲述了古老的东方传说——龙王在睡觉的时候睫毛长到地里能够长出茶叶。龙王把法力封印在龙牌里,并把这种力量赋予了替他照料睫毛的白魔法大师和他的女儿成兰。邪恶的黑魔法师将白魔法大师和成兰关进了异国监狱,龙王也陷入了沉睡,以茶叶为生的广大村民从此生活在水深火热之中……。
