“In tennis, love means nothing.” Studiocanal has revealed the first official trailer (with English subtitles) for the film titled Forty Love, a French gay tennis players movie made by filmmaker Pierre-Ange Carlotti as his first feature film. While there’s no other international release dates set yet, this is ready to play in France starting in November this fall. A drama set in professional tennis, exploring the balance between ambition, performance, and intimacy on the French Riviera. A passionate LGBTQ sports film starring Paul Kircher, Guillaume Canet, Romeo Beckham (making his on-screen debut here), Benjamin Voisin, along with Catherine Deneuve. The film is a coming-of-age, rivals-to-lovers romance. It follows Sacha Gallo, a young tennis superstar. His world is turned on its head by a charismatic new rival, who challenges him on & off the court. “For the first time, he faces an opponent of an entirely different nature — love. A force as exhilarating as it is destabilizing — and far more dangerous than anything he has encountered on the court.” Looks like the French version of Challengers with its own spicy twists and turns.
