CHEVALIER: A Farcical Take On Modern Masculinity
CHEVALIER: An Absurdist Take On Modern Masculinity

Chevalier is the uncomplicated story of six men on a diving expedition in the Aegean sea, and how their competitiveness is almost the undoing of all of them. Named as Best Film at the London Film Festival in 2015, it is an extraordinary film and one that is unmissable for anyone who enjoys a deeply disturbing comedy. Despite having no female characters,  Athina Rachel Tsangari’s Greek comedy   speaks from an authoritative feminist voice, forcing hyper-masculinity under the microscope with hysterical consequences.
