Chevalier

description

In the middle of the Aegean Sea, on a luxury yacht, six men on a fishing trip decide to play an absurdist game rooted in measuring male antagonism to kill time. By the the end of their voyage, when the game is over, the winner will be crowned the best man. He will be awarded the victorious signet ring: the “Chevalier”, which he will proudly adorn on his finger.

Co-written by Efthimis Filippou (ALPS, THE LOBSTER, DOGTOOTH), CHEVALIER follows up the success of Greek New Wave Director Athina Rachel Tsangari's 2011 CUFF selection ATTENBERG. Her latest explores the male psyche, creating an original and witty buddy movie, where the men are anything but friends.
