Luca Guadagnino was assigned: love triangle tennis. So he directed from the perspective of the ball, sometimes literally.
The pacing and pay-off in this frantic take on love and sport worked for me. Though its racing score kicked in one too many times. Its climatic match indulged in the teasing too long. And I have a feeling that Zendaya's character was underserved.
“Challengers,” the new drama about three tennis players who form a love triangle, required “a soundscape as thrilling as the onscreen action.” Who better to create the tension of such a relationship than Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross? Read about it on IndieWire, where you can also find links to the music. https://flip.it/tIoHp7 #Culture#Movies#Entertainment#Challengers#Zendaya#NineInchNails
