Sudden and Unexpected

“Like the beginnings of his films, the endings too are halting. In ‘Plotzlich und Unerwartet (Sudden and Unexpected)’ Udo Kier shuts a door after saying goodbye to the camera, signaling the abrupt end to a maze-like plot which loops around itself, so that the order of events remains opaque (we see the same event from three different perspectives but they seem to occur sequentially).” – Alice Kuzniar, Audacious Allegories: The Queer German Cinema
