3. People also ask

   Is challengers a 'back-and-forth' movie about tennis?

   • The back-and-forth is, of course, a natural fit for a movie about tennis, and Guadagnino and his regular cinematographer Sayombhu Mukdeeprom find clever ways to translate this into the visuals of Challengers.

   Why do challengers play tennis?

   • Tennis becomes both a metaphor and vessel for interpersonal conflict, with frequent shots of scars and injuries as reminders of the toll it takes. In the eyes of Challengers, the sport is as an obsession that reveals the characters' respective worldviews and how they relate to one another on their upward and downward trajectories.

   What makes challengers a story?

   • The intersections of their lives across 13 years form Challengers’ foundation, a story it unfurls bit by bit. At first, the way it hops and skips through time is disorienting, but Kuritzkes and Guadagnino lay out just enough breadcrumbs to guide us through this forest of flashbacks.

   Apr 26, 2024 · Luca Guadagnino directs “Challengers,” a time-shifting drama about a love triangle between tennis pros, as if he’s a top-seeded player so ruthlessly focused on winning Wimbledon that he’d run over his grandmother if she got between him and the stadium. Every shot is a serve, every montage a volley.
