Challengers

    Part of
  • BAM Film 2024
Directed by Neo Sora (2023)

In an AI-dominated near future when emotions have become a threat, a young woman chooses to purify her DNA in a machine that will wash away the residue of strong feelings from her past lives. Then she meets a man who seems dangerous at first—and feels like she’s known him forever. Director Bertrand Bonello (Nocturama, Coma) explores isolation and interconnection in this provocative, century-spanning adaptation of Henry James’s 1903 novella, The Beast in the Jungle.
