Marty Supreme
–About Marty Supreme
Academy Award nominee Timothée Chalamet stars in Marty Supreme, a bold, kinetic portrait of a fast-talking New York City dreamer, hellbent on turning an overlooked sport into his personal springboard to glory.
It’s 1952, and Marty Mauser is stuck selling shoes in his uncle’s cramped Lower East Side store. Table tennis has become his escape hatch from his family, his neighborhood and the unspoken rules of who gets to matter and who doesn’t. The problem is, in post-war America, table tennis is barely more respected than tiddlywinks — making Marty’s dream look like a joke to everyone but him.
But ridicule isn’t his only hurdle. He’s also got an overbearing mother, a pregnant girlfriend, empty pockets, and the entire capitalist system to contend with. Still, not even the vampires of industry can stop Marty from becoming Marty Supreme — because for him, every obstacle is a reason to double down.
