So, 'Never Guessed and Didn't Expect'—what a quirky little gem from 1982. It’s set in this typical Soviet apartment, just a slice of life, and then BAM! A donkey crashes the scene. The pacing is offbeat, which really mirrors the absurdity of the situation, right? You’ve got the family, the police showing up, all these attempts to get rid of the donkey, but nothing works. It’s almost like a metaphor for the unexpected chaos of life in a constrained society. The practical effects are minimal, but it leans on the human reactions and the awkwardness of it all. It’s a film that captures a kind of surreal humor, and those performances really sell it. Definitely one to chat about among collectors for its bizarre premise and execution.
