Challengers is Stylistic Perfection (Review)
Luca Guadagnino's latest film "Challengers" starring Zendaya is a sensual tennis game of love and lust. This might be his best movie to date, so let's talk about it.

Every Denis Villeneuve Film Ranked

Now that Denis Villeneuve has built a more than impressive filmography with his latest release "Dune: Part 2", I figured it was a good time to rank every film of his from worst to best. Of course, this is just my personal list, with relatively arbitrary criteria so don't take it too seriously.

This is a hefty watch. While Martin Scorsese's films over the past decade have been some of my favourites of his, this one didn't quite live up to the likes of 'Silence' or 'The Irishman'.

    I saw this movie on HBO 1983 when pay per view TV was uncensored. There was a nipple piercing scene. It was the sofa scene where Niki said to Max "Want to try a few things..?" Very next scene Max needle pierced her nipple through and through on closeup with a drop of blood and all. There was no "sex" involved but the inference was unquestionably obvious. The whole movie was provocative, but that scene was on the pinnacle edge. I have seen the film many times since and have never seen that scene again. When I saw your review I hoped I would have my answer. Maybe you could help me find the answer? I'm wondering if there is a directors cut somewhere of the original. I wish I could have the opportunity to see it again UNCENSORED.

    There is a lot you can get out of this film that doesn't require saying it explicitly to the audience; you have to observe and think through Bruce's character arc. I like it when filmmakers don't assume I'm an idiot and need to spell everything out for me like I'm 5. I loved that Pattinson's Batman is basically a "Year 2" Batman who has the fighting techniques, the gadgets, the detective skills...the groundwork is there. But he's still not quite figured out why he's doing the whole Batman thing or how he reconciles being both Bruce and Batman. He basically sees Bruce as the kid who died with his parents and his only persona is that of Batman. But he has to slowly regain his childhood innocence and humanity so that the anger he vents on his enemies doesn't just consume him completely.

    • @luca7329
      @luca7329 Před 6 dny

      The use of music is what made this movie incredible to me. Without it, it wouldn’t have worked and that’s why i think defining this movie a masterpiece is an exaggeration. The music suits this movie perfectly: tennis and techno have the same relentless rhythm, and the movie itself tells you that everything in it is about tennis. That explains the use of techno music in dialogue scenes, which are in fact seen as tennis matches themselves. The time jumps remember a tennis match themselves too, considering how the challenger final’s different moments reflect the relationship between the two players and Tashi. It’s surely one of the best movies of this year so far, but that last scene is both great and terrible (certain choices left me dubious, like the POV of the tennis ball… which is actually kinda cool but i absolutely hate the last upward movement). Having this said, this is basically the only major flaw i found.

    When I first read about this movie there was an emphasis by the critic that Nora was being pulled towards embracing a Korean partner vs her American husband. I didn't like that premise. It sounded reductive. I was glad to see it was much more than that. I thought the directing was superb. So many of Song's compositions were stunning. She is a true artist, all her senses are alive. Cannot wait to see more from her. That said I was not overcome by the story as the hype would suggest. I liked it. It was interesting and Teo was heartbreaking but the visual aspects were the real winner for me. Not the storyline. It was not like Aftersun which I feel did live up to expectation. JMO

    I’m such a Chris Bale fan, that for a long time I refused to watch the following Batmans (especially Affleck). But I finally watched The Batman and Pattinson surprised me positively. However, I believe a direct comparison between the Dark Knight and The Batman is not possible, as the respective tones are too far apart. Nolan’s version (the glossy FX version, featuring a spoiled playboy Bruce Wayne) and Reeve’s version (noir af, no bs, realistic, featuring a damaged but much more relatable Bruce Wayne) are not from the same universe, imo. And even though I was impressed with the crudeness of Reeve’s version, and I recognize Nolan’s could have been done even better, I found the Dark Knight overall more entertaining as a super hero.

    Saying AI has no artistic merit because it isn't sentient is to miss the forest for the trees. It's like saying 'Asteroid City' has no artistic merit because it similarly lacks sentience. After all, what is 'Asteroid City' but a series of images being played at twenty four frames a second, and an audio track, cold and dispassionate, without mind or soul? A mere inanimate artifact? We understand this is silly, because we recognise that the people who made 'Asteroid City' poured their mind and soul and unconscious into it, and that it resonates with our mind and our soul and our unconscious. Do you honestly believe the same isn't true of ChatGPT, which has been created by putting innumerable human works of creation into a great big metaphorical blender, only to see what comes out? An experiment, to discover not only what is produced from the sum total of all of that aggregated noise, but what we individually may draw out of it, as though we're tapping into the collective unconscious itself, or at least some kind of simulation of it, that will not go off in its own direction (death of the author and all that)? That's exactly how I see AI. A great big art project. It's amazing, and if you don't see that yet, then that's no surprise. After all, you published your review of Asteroid City after only one viewing. Take a closer look.
