Chevalier (Athina Rachel Tsangari, Greece, 2015)

A slow-burn satire dubbed “a buddy movie without the buddies,” Chevalier brilliantly mines the comedy of the modern male competitive spirit. Six well-to-do Greek men on a sailing vacation devise increasingly extreme competitions to determine, definitively, which of them is “the best in general.” No women are present to interfere; only the yacht’s small crew will witness the proceedings. Egos will be bruised, blood will be spilled, manhood will be...measured. Are you man enough for Chevalier?
