In this triumphant and gripping story, directorial prodigy Josh Safdie (“Good Time,” 2017) takes us on a global cinematic journey through New York, Paris, London, Cairo, and Tokyo of the 1950s, as Marty, played by “Dune” star Timothée Chalamet, forges his own path to success and ultimately discovers the true meaning of legacy. In the cinematic drama ‘Marty Supreme’ (2025), Chalamet captivates audiences as Marty Mauser, a table tennis prodigy and charismatic rogue. Directed by Safdie, his globe-spanning adventure takes us from the back alleys of Manhattan in visually stunning scenes all the way to the Paris, London, Cairo, and Tokyo of the 1950s.
Nominated for 9 Oscars—shoe salesman Marty wants to become the world champion in table tennis and embarks on an odyssey in which he risks everything for his dream. Wild, fast-paced, and celebrated by critics and audiences alike. Timothée Chalamet won the ‘Golden Globe’ for Best Actor for his performance. In the back alleys of Manhattan, Marty Mauser, a young shoe salesman, dreams of a future that’s a few sizes bigger than his uncle’s small shoe store. Driven by the idea of becoming a world champion in table tennis, he disappears every night into the city’s smoky competition halls, where—with plenty of talent, the necessary chutzpah, and thanks to the help of his best friend Wally (Tyler, the Creator)—he earns a few extra dollars. It’s not enough to finance a professional career or compete in tournaments in London, Paris, or Tokyo. So Marty simply “borrows” money from his uncle’s safe, lies to his mother Rebecca (Fran Drescher) as well as his girlfriend Rachel Mizler (Odessa A’zion), and shamelessly hits on Hollywood diva Kay Stone (Gwyneth Paltrow), whose husband Milton Rockwell (Kevin O’Leary) he also hopes to win over as a sponsor. But that’s just the beginning of the odyssey of a man who’s willing to risk everything for fame and success…
