If <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attenberg <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was visibly categorised as a feminist film, it is clear that the tables have turned now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost grown into its own genre\u2019s sub-genre is this representative of \u201cship films\u201d in which a dozen masculine men are duking it out on every possible thing that they can. During the boat trip men come up with \u201cmanly\u201d challenges and competitions that are familiar to many men; the notebooks of this sextet are filled with notes, egos are measured as well as at some point the lengths of erections\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The manly competitive instinct is really being tested in this absurd race. There\u2019s no need for our brothers to get hurt (as some reviews of the film suggested) considering that Chevalier isn\u2019t \u201deven\u201d a feminist film. Contextual levels and Bu\u00f1uel style humour is plenty. While admiring the glorious ship, the cliffs and the great openness of the Aegean Sea, one can also wonder whether Tsangari offers metaphors of the situation in Greece at that time as she depicts competition, use of power, and class distinctions in a poignantly funny way in her film.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Timo Malmi<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In 2011 Athina Rachel Tsangari visited Sodankyl\u00e4 with her wild cult film Attenberg (2010).
