CHALLENGERS (2024)
August 1 : 7:00 pm – 9:15 pm
“THE BEST FILM OF 2024…sweaty, sublime, riveting, rollicking” – The AV Club
Few films have so instantly captured the zeitgeist like Luca Guadagnino’s (Suspiria, Call Me By Your Name) throbbing throuple epic Challengers. One part sports drama and two parts Jules and Jim, Challengers stars Zendaya as Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy turned coach and a force of nature who makes no apologies for her game. Married to (and micro-manager of) Art, a champion on a losing streak (Mike Faist), Tashi formulates a comeback plan for her husband that takes a surprising turn when he must face off against low-circuit has-been Patrick (Josh O’Connor), his former best friend and Tashi’s former lover. Simmering tensions, raw rivalries, and anguished emotions all come to a head in a vibrantly cinematic tennis match set to Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross’ techno-vibes score.
This film is screening as part of Arkadin’s mini-series, LOVE COMES IN 3, spotlighting throuples, threesomes, love triangles, and other romantically complicated trios.
