Leidsin juhuslikult intervjuu Deaf Crocodile asutajatega eelmise aasta märtsist, kus mainiti ka raskuski "Hukkunud Alpinisti" litsenseerimisega.

Josh – Now Dennis, let’s move to your side of things. I know you said you do the detective work and a lot of the negotiating and stuff. How long does that generally take?

Dennis – Well, we just signed a license on a really wonderful Estonian sci-fi kind of euro-thriller locked-room mystery called Dead Mountaineers’ Hotel from 1979-80. It took six years of patiently waiting and gently prodding to negotiate the license for us to restore. Every six months or so I would send an email to our contact in Estonia, and she would politely sort of say “We haven’t made up our minds, I need to talk to my colleagues, we’re hoping to get a grant on this end to restore it.” Then six months would go by and I’d send another email. This went on and on and finally Craig and I had kind of given up hope. Out of the blue I said “All right, I’ll give it one more chance” So I sent another email saying we’re still interested in Dead Mountaineer’s Hotel and amazingly she came back and said okay. We essentially wore them down, which I think is what happens with a number of these projects.

Üsna masendav suhtumine Tallinnfilmi poolelt minu arvates. Huvitav, kui paljudele pakkumistele nad veel on vastu hakanud?

Enne plaadile jõudmist linastub Berliini filmifestivali klassikaprogrammis:

That same year saw the production of Hukkunud Alpinisti hotell (Dead Mountaineer’s Hotel) by Estonian director Grigori Kromanov. A genre-busting film noir with elements of fantasy, it is based on a story by the legendary Soviet science-fiction writers Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. The restoration was done from a new 4K scan of 35 mm inter-positive material held by the Estonian National Archives.

DEAD MOUNTAINEER’S HOTEL (“HUKKUNUD ALPINISTI” HOTEL) – 1979, Tallinnfilm, 84 min. "I was on call to drive to a mountain hotel. The hotel's name was The Dead Mountaineer," says police inspector Peter Glebsky (Uldis Pūcītis) at the beginning of Estonian director Grigori Kromanov’s dazzling, paranoid mixture of locked-room mystery, 1970s Euro giallo, classic noir whodunit, and (unbelievably) alien sci-fi ala THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH. Based on a novel by famed Soviet authors Arkady and Boris Strugatsky (STALKER, HARD TO BE A GOD), the hall-of-mirrors plot follows Glebsky as he’s trapped by avalanche in the ski lodge with a rogues’ gallery of weird suspects: tubercular gangster Hinckus (Mikk Mikiver), creepy hotel owner Snewahr (Jüri Järvet, KING LEAR), a wall-climbing physicist (Lembit Peterson), a louche, wig-wearing beauty out of a Bryan Ferry song (Irena Kriauzaite) – oh, and the Dead Mountaineer’s faithful St. Bernard. The interior of the hotel (brilliantly art directed by Tõnu Virve and Priit Vaher, and photographed by Jüri Sillart) is straight out of a Dario Argento or Sergio Martino thriller: all chrome-and-marble with Space Age modern designs, drenched in champagne and feather boas. Featuring a stellar electronica / prog score by composer Sven Grünberg, the film combines an eerie THE SHINING-like mountain locale with speculative sci-fi straight out of Chariots of the Gods. “This is the end of the road. The only way is back,” as the hotel owner cryptically smiles. Newly restored in 4K by Deaf Crocodile in collaboration with the Estonian Film Institute and Film Archive. In Estonian with English subtitles.
