We meet them in Stanford, where Art is attending, while Patrick has left education to become a professional tennis player. “I think she’s making me an honest man. You don’t believe me?” “No, I’m just — I’m not sure how she’s thinking about all of this. So we cut to a sort of reverse shot, extreme close up, where Patrick hugs, in a sort of ambiguous way. When the sugar goes on the cheek of Patrick, Art takes it off with his hand in a very nice gesture of kindness — and very intimate, I would say.

Can trash talk be a love language? It is in the world of Luca Guadagnino’s new film “Challengers,” which pits two best-friend tennis players, Patrick (Josh O’Connor) and Art (Mike Faist), against each other in a bid to win the heart of the superstar Tashi Duncan (Zendaya). “I find them all really likable and charming — and terrible also,” Zendaya said with a grin. “I wanted to do it because it’s brilliant,” she said. “It’s not like I sat in my room and had this master board: ‘OK, this is how I’m going to make my big transition for my first lead theatrical role.’”
