    When neurosurgeons fall in love... Preparations to Be Together for an Unknown Period of Time is really a kind of reverse Before Sunrise. The characters are supposed to meet up in Budapest a month after their first encounter, but while Márta is all in, János acts like he doesn't know her. The relationship, if it can be said to restart, is largely silent. We're not in Linklater's world, but perhaps in Kieślowski's, since many seem to have made this comparison. There's certainly an emotional ambiguity, and we wonder if Márta has imagined the whole thing, is still imagining it, or was gaslit, or maybe it's all a misunderstanding (and those abound because, again, people don't talk to each other). Natasa Stork is excellent in the role, playing an intellectual woman who keeps things very close to the vest; she has to do a lot with little. This is a slow burn to be sure, and we're heading for a rather elliptical ending as well. Some might feel impatient and even unsatisfied. Not me though, I was into it. 2 years 2 months ago
