Chevalier
Greece 99 mins

“An inspired, gorgeously photographed work of deadpan lunacy that asserts itself as a spit-take on masculine rivalries.” – The Village Voice

Greek new wave star Athina Rachel Tsangari (The Capsule, MIFF 12; Attenberg, MIFF 10) returns with her most accomplished work to date: a bizarre, formally adventurous study of male antagonism set aboard a luxury yacht.

Marooned while their ship undergoes repairs, six men engage in a rigorous game of one-upmanship, with the prize being the coveted “Chevalier” ring and macho bragging rights. The absurdity of their behaviour is keenly rendered by Tsangari and co-writer Efthymis Filippou (The Lobster, MIFF 15), who bring a hilariously withering perspective to this very masculine, rather silly duel of egos.

London Film Festival Best Film winner.
