And your penis is very, very small.” This double-pronged attack on one man’s prowess, verbal and sexual, comes about two-thirds into this wry comedy from Greece. Dental hygiene, flatpack assembly skills, breakfast choices and more easily quantifiable attributes such as physical endowment: everything is scored in the small books that each man guards jealously. And the music choices are equally astute – the lean, pulsing electronica of the score is punctuated by a brilliantly unexpected rendition of Minnie Riperton’s Loving You. And the exaggerated courtesy gradually peels off, like a badly glued toupee, to reveal the simmering grudges that lurk below the civilised facade. There are more shifting factions, allegiances and savage betrayals during the few days on this boat than in several weeks of current British politics.
