Dead Mountaineer's Hotel

Society has created rigid codes of conduct, an invisible barrier that we punish ourselves for daily. At the end of the day, human morality is but a blip in our understanding of the universe, if something else were to encounter us in this state it is destined to end in tragedy. Hard to really place this film into any mold, it is almost like a giallo but with existentialist sci-fi that I just really love. Grigori Kromanov plays this perfectly by making everything as unexplained as possible, it keeps you guessing until the final scenes of the film. Insanely good soundtrack and set design here as well, the hotel itself feels like it transcends space and time itself. This film was made for me.
