Challengers

Das sagt der/die Veranstalter:in:

Visionary Oscar-nominated filmmaker Luca Guadagnino (»Call Me By Your Name«, »Bones and All«) brings us a romantic sports drama starring Zendaya (»Dune«, »Spider-Man«, TV’s »Euphoria«) as star tennis player Tashi Duncan, who gets caught up in a steamy love triangle with fellow tennis players Art and Patrick. Years later, Tashi is married to Art (Faist; »West Side Story«), and after suffering a serious injury becomes his coach. To spice things up, Tashi convinces Art to compete in a challenger event against washed-up former best friend Patrick (O'Connor; TV’s »The Crown«), reigniting their rivalry and romance once again. As their pasts and presents collide, and tensions run high, Tashi must ask herself, what will it cost to win. Featuring a stellar cast and a unique blend of sports, romance and comedy, this film both offers a refreshing take on the genre and maintains Guadagnino’s signature sensuality and visuals which he has become known for.
