Today is Hungarian director Lili Horvát’s birthday. The timing is fortuitous. I am overjoyed for the people of Hungary today, and also thinking of the theatre artistswho have been resisting within increasingly rigid and risky parameters. Back in November, during the Hearth gathering, my friend Derek and I were discussing the whole vibrant underground rebellious theatre scene in Hungary. In fact, I told him to watch THIS movie. So the timing is fortuitous to celebrate one of Hungary’s artists.
I believe I made clear my love for Horvát’s Preparations To Be Together For An Unknown Period of Time, in a lengthy piece on my Substack.
It’s been a while since a film has grabbed me so deeply. I felt shaken up by it. I watched it three times in a week.
