#Bales2023FilmChallenge May 21: It's the end of the world on the #EndOfTheWorld

It's another schoolday in rural America when the #NuclearAttack alarm starts ringing. A teacher, instructed to calmly walk the kids home, tries to keep the youngest ones oblivious of the impending doom. While the children walk, talk and sing, this thing up there, in the sky and in the mind, grows bigger.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge May 6: Ordering a beverage on #BeverageDay

At a poolside party, the swimmer appears. He notes that the houses in between his hosts' and his are connected by a “river” of pools and decides to swim home, from one pool to the other, foolishly, superficially meeting people, crashing suburban pool parties, increasingly irrational.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge March 25: Walking in #sand on #WalkInTheSandDay

During a summer vacation on #FireIsland, two young men come across Sandy, a young woman with an injured #seagull. While nursing the bird back to life, the relationship between the three deepens. A second girl, the much younger Rhoda (the breathtaking Catherine Burns) is taken in by the trio. Set almost entirely on a sunny #beach, Last Summer (Frank “The Swimmer” Perry, 1969) is one of the most claustrophobic films you may ever watch.
