Winner of Best Film at the London Film Festival, Athina Rachel Tsangari’s Chevalier is a funny, perfectly pitched satire that puts masculinity under a microscope.

Taking competitive spirit to the extreme, six men holidaying together on a luxury yacht go to bizarre lengths to prove that he is ‘The Best in General’. Concocting an increasingly absurd series of contests to test each other’s manhood, they score each other on everything from flatpack furniture assembly to morning erections. Rivalries and insecurities emerge, allegiances shift, tempers fray, and all good sportsmanship goes well and truly out the window and it's only a matter of time until the knives come out...

Tsangari, a long time collaborator with Yorgos Lanthimos (who made last year’s smash The Lobster), is one of the most exciting directors at work in Europe today. At once a wonderfully weird comedy and an incisive study of the games men play, Chevalier is this year’s indie hit to watch out for.

“Increasingly absurd...increasingly hilarious” - Hollywood Reporter

One of this year’s finest comedies from one of Europe’s most exciting directors. Athina Rachel Tsangari puts masculinity under the microscope as six men embark on a series of bizarre contests to decide which of them is ‘The Best in General’.

What makes a man ‘The Best in General’? Is it his muscles? His cooking skills? How long he can hold his breath for? His skills in flatpack assembly?

Taking competitive spirit to the extreme, six men holidaying together concoct an increasingly absurd series of contests to test each other’s manhood. Rivalries and insecurities emerge, allegiances shift, tempers fray, and all good sportsmanship goes well and truly out the window and it's only a matter of time until the knives come out...
