“It’s easily the best Estonian sci-fi detective story I’ve ever seen. And yes, it’s the only one.”
—David Cairns, MUBI

“A noir/sci-fi crossover with a banger soundtrack…”
—Danielle Burgos, Screen Slate

From the legendary Strugatsky Brothers, minds behind Tarkovsky’s STALKER, comes a sci-fi noir chiller about a Soviet-era detective called to investigate a murder yet to happen, only to be stranded at a snow-capped hotel with weird guests and a mystery beyond anything he could have imagined. Adapting their own 1970 novel of the same name, DEAD MOUNTAINEER’S HOTEL combines strange happenings with a killer prog-rock score from Sven Grünberg.
