Reminiscence and Preparations to Be Together for an Unknown Period of Time (Movie Squad Podcast #42)
This week on the Movie Squad pod, Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo explore some movies of the mind!
For special guest Breakfast host Doug Swampé, Tristan kicks off proceedings with a review of Reminiscence, the neo-noir starring Hugh Jackman as a private investigator in a future Miami who explores the deepest recesses of his clients’ memories. It comes from writer-director Lisa Joy, co-creator of the Westworld TV show. Is it worth the high price of rental, having skipped Australian cinemas?
Next, Simon covers the tongue-twisty title Preparations to Be Together for an Unknown Period of Time. This acclaimed Hungarian drama concerns a neurosurgeon who believes she’s scheduled to reunite with the love of her life on a bridge in Budapest, only to discover… he doesn’t know who she is at all. Is it a case of gaslighting? Mistaken identity? Or is it that pesky brain playing tricks on her? In cinemas 7 October, get the early word on this excellent ‘unmooring’ film.
