CHALLENGERS (2cl SOMMERKINO 2024)

In the organizer's words:

USA 2023, feature film, 132 min.

Directed byLuca Guadagnino.

With: Zendaya, Josh O'Connor, Mike Faist.

Language: OmU (English with German subtitles).

Patrick and Art are aspiring tennis players and best friends. When they meet tennis prodigy Tashi Duncan at an event, they can hardly believe their luck. Tashi's talent and confident manner make a lasting impression on the two of them and causes tensions to boil over between the three of them. From now on, each of them has to ask themselves a crucial question: How far will I go to win?

Luca Guadagnino (CALL ME BY YOUR NAME) once again devotes himself to the entanglements of lust and passion in his latest work, in which everyone and everything simply looks incredibly good. While past and present collide in the film with the same force as ball and racket, the poppy soundtrack and the (sporting) top performances of the actors almost give you whiplash while watching - just like the most exciting tennis match.
