Challengers (15)
Dir. Luca Guadagnino, US, 2024, 131 mins. Cast. Mike Faist, Zendaya, Josh O’Connor.
One of the most feverishly anticipated films of the year, Challengers is a punchy, sensationally watchable blend of romance, comedy, tennis and high drama, by Luca Guadagnino. Tashi Duncan is a former tennis prodigy-turned-coach and a force of nature who makes no apologies for her game on and off the court. Married to Art, a champion on a losing streak, Tashi’s coaching strategy for her husband’s redemption takes a surprising turn when she signs him up for a ‘Challenger’ match against the washed-up Patrick – Art’s ex-best friend, and Tashi’s former lover. As the trio reunite, memories of their youthful love triangle arise and new feelings of jealousy, lust and betrayal come to the fore.
