Because I discovered so many new-to-me gems in 2023, I'm considering getting back on board for the (if any?) #Bales2025FilmChallenge. Is this a thing? Will this be a thing? And where did @thisiseuge go?

I wrote about Bob Clark's She-Man: A Story of Fixation (1967) last year, for #Bales2023FilmChallenge. You'll find a link to Avery Willard's wonderful Female Impersonation from 1971 in it.

New Year's Eve
Men in identical white shirts and dark slacks dancing in the club during after hours. Their upper bodies seem top-heavy, tending to lunge towards the ground. DP: Kostas Theodoridis.
New Year's Eve celebrations.
A mousy bank clerk (Dinos Iliopoulos), who bears an uncanny resemblance to a criminal on the run, finds himself hiding in a shady cabaret on New Year's Eve instead of spending a quiet evening alone. During his forced stay at the nightclub, he comes to enjoy and identify more and more with his newfound persona and assumes the role of the notorious โDragoโ.
An initial box office dud, it is now considered one of the top ten all-time best Greek films.
Happy new year, everyone! On to many more cinematic discoveries!
