After experimenting in English-language productions for two films, Olaf Ittenbach returned to Germany to make the strangest movie of his career. NO REASON stars Irene Holzfurtner as the tormented Jennifer, an ordinary housewife living an ordinary day until mid-bath, she mysteriously descends into a bloodsoaked, sadistic underworld, guided by a Cthulhu-masked individual. What begins as a series of morbid tests devolves into a dive into Jennifer's unreliable psyche. A blast of psychological "woman in trouble" pulp and cosmic horror, NO REASON takes Ittenbach's usual narrative intrigue of damaged characters seeking truth through dismemberment and pushes it to its limit.
