Curator Notes
Description:
A festival favorite. 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 an Aegean Sea sailing vacation devise increasingly extreme competitions to determine, definitively, which of them is “the best in general.” Filmmaker Athina Rachel Tsangari skillfully portrays the depth of her characters, revealing their underlying egos and the unease of male friendship. “She sets the scene and lets the absurdity of the premise and the neuroses of the sparring men snowball naturally in this perfectly pitched satire.”

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?
