“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. This actually is really worth a watch.
Here’s the first official trailer for Pierre-Ange Carlotti’s film Forty Love, from Studiocanal’s YouTube:
🎾 At 21, Sacha Gallo only knows one world: tennis. Raised and relentlessly trained by his father, the two share a single goal: to win their first major trophy title in Paris. But the arrival of a charismatic new rival challenges everything Sacha thought he understood about competition, ambition, and himself. For the first time, he faces an opponent of a whole different nature: love. A force as exhilarating as it is destabilizing – and far more dangerous than anything he has encountered on the court. Forty Love is directed by French filmmaker Pierre-Ange Carlotti, making his feature directorial debut with this project. The screenplay is written by Pierre-Ange Carlotti & Gaëlle Macé. Produced by Paco De Bary and Hugo Sélignac. Made by Chi-Fou-Mi Productions, Manna Studios. Studiocanal debuts Pierre-Ange Carlotti’s Forty Love movie in French cinemas starting on November 25th, 2026 this fall and internationally in 2027. Anyone want to watch?
