Marty Supreme (15)

Parent & Baby Screening

— ,Cinema 3
Marty Supreme runs through a crowded street

Timothée Chalamet serves rhythm and spin in Josh Safdie's new ping-pong comedy on big business, identity and feverish ambition.

Marty Mauser (Timothée Chalamet) is a young Jewish guy working in a New York shoe shop in 1952, dreaming of world-sweeping success in the up-and-coming sport of table tennis, and patenting his own brand of ball - named the Marty Supreme.

Loosely inspired by real-life table tennis player Marty Reisman, and with a stylish return by Gwyneth Paltrow, Marty Supreme follows Marty's life as he first establishes his credentials at the British Open, setting his sights on the World Championship in Tokyo.

Shot on grainy, desaturated 35mm by cinematographer Darius Khondji, and accompanied by 1980s tunes and a shimmering electronic score by Daniel Lopatin, Josh Safdie (Uncut Gems, Good Times, Heaven Knows What) makes a sports movie that uses the sport itself as a lever to pry open the big American dream, much reminiscent of Scorsese's Raging Bull.
