So, this film, 'And once again, toward glory he strives,' is quite the quirky little piece from 1980. You’ve got this TV reporter who dives into the life of a pop idol, Demis Flerianos, and it’s more than just a celebrity piece. The film's got this blend of comedy, but it’s laced with a serious undertone, tackling issues like easy wealth and rural depopulation. It's fascinating how it reflects political and social climates of the early '80s. The pacing can feel uneven at times, but that just adds to its charm, I think. Plus, the performances have this raw, almost spontaneous feel that really brings the satire to life. It’s definitely distinct in its approach.
