Members' Screening

Two young men sit on either side of a young woman, on a bed, touching each other's legs and laughing.

Tension builds on the courts in Luca Guadagnino's tennis menage-a-trois between Zendaya, Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist. 

In this very hotly anticipated drama from Italian director Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, A Bigger Splash) who is known for being unafraid of a sexy story, Zendaya plays a tennis star who is seriously injured early in her career. 

The film spans the careers of Zendaya and her two male counterparts, played by Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist, as they compete on the courts and in courting, both wanting the same girl.

Teased  in late 2023, audiences have been impatiently waiting for the release of what could be this summer's steamiest film.
