Hyperreal Film Club: Six men are aboard a luxury yacht for a spear-fishing vacation in the Aegean. Soon their mundane competition over who caught the largest fish devolves into a contest over which of them is the “best in everything.” It’s a game with arbitrary rules in which each man both judges and competes based on standards of his own choosing. Who has the best ringtone, best erection, and best cholesterol level? It's the latest playful foray from the Greek filmmaking avant-garde. Preceded by the short, "Cecilia" with director Liz Tabish in attendance. Read a full review of Chevalier.
