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?。与国内目前常见的公安题材影视剧不同的是,《探长欧光慈》是眼下非常少见的悬疑、推理侦探剧。全剧通过《红樱桃之谜》、《电梯谋杀案》、《新娘之死》等10个独立成章的侦破案组成,通过起伏跌宕、疑云重重的情节设置,表现了探长欧光慈和他的伙伴利用独到而严谨的逻辑分析,从细节入手,抽丝剥茧揭开谜团的过程,塑造了睿智而又细心的全新公安人员形象。随着剧情的深入,观众会不知不觉被编导带入一个精心设计的迷宫,而剧中所写案件都是发生在我们生活的中间,观众可以运用自己的经验和推理判断能力与剧中人来一番智力的大比拼,犹如进行一次惊险刺激而又妙趣横生的智力旅行。。
