Watch the ‘Challengers’ Trailer
TheChallengerstrailer, available to watch above, gives a pulsating glimpse at the tantalizing thrills and spills waiting for potential viewers. An official synopsis for Challengers reads:
“Tennis player turned coach Tashi (Zendaya) has taken her husband, Art (Mike Faist), and transformed him into a world-famous grand slam champion. To jolt him out of his recent losing streak, she makes him play a “Challenger” event — close to the lowest level of pro tournament — where he finds himself standing across the net from his former best friend and Tashi’s former boyfriend (Josh O’Connor).”
The film was received glowingly upon its release, with many citing a frantic score from the ever-brilliantTrent ReznorandAtticus Ross; superb lead performances from Faist, O’Connor, and Zendaya, and an immersive tale full of twists, turns - and even a threesome, for good measure - as the reason for its success. However, perhaps more than all that, was the praise for Guadagnino, whose career trajectory seems to stay on the rise as his projects continue. Using all he has learned across his 25-year career to date,Challengersfeels like the culmination of a decade-long era in his workfromA Bigger SplashtoCall Me By Your Name,andBones and All.In his review for Collider,Ross Bonaimewas quick to praise the director’s triumph inChallengers, saying:
“This [Challengers] ends up feeling like a culmination of Guadagnino’s talents, all wrapped up into a film that seems like his most commercial project yet on paper.We have the absurd build in passion that we saw in something likeCall Me by Your Name, mixed with the unpredictability of a film likeBones and All, and the build to a remarkable conclusion that endedSuspiriawith a bang. But it’s also tied into the complicated character-focused dramas that Guadagnino began his features career with. It’s simply gratifying to watch Guadagnino combine all of his skills into this one immensely entertaining project.”
