A truly beautiful and poignant piece of queer filmmaking and a powerful tribute to the resilience and creativity of the queer scene in Athens. Just wow!
The film's avant-garde, magical realist style elevates it well beyond typical documentaries. It masterfully interweaves surrealism with gritty realism, highlighting pressing social issues like gentrification, misogyny, homophobia, and xenophobia. This juxtaposition underscores the harsh realities faced by the community while celebrating the transformative and imaginative power of drag.
Ok, I'm a bit biased because Athens is the place I grew up, and I connected with the film on a very personal level. But I honestly believe its themes concern us all, and it's rare to see such creative energy poured into a documentary.
