Academy-award nominee Timothée Chalamet garners more awards buzz for his charismatic portrayal of a ping-pong hustler in Marty Supreme.
Synopsis:
Set in the early ’50s and loosely inspired by real-life table-tennis player Marty Reisman, Marty Supreme follows the life of Marty Mauser (Chalamet) a young man with a dream no one respects, who goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness.
Also starring Gwyneth Paltrow (Shakespeare in Love), Tyler the Creator, Fran Drescher (The Nanny), and Penn Jillette (Penn & Teller), Marty Supreme was nominated for 3 Golden Globe Awards, including best Musical or Comedy Motion Picture, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor. It has a 95% Fresh rating on RottenTomates.com with critics raving:
“Marty Supreme is a stunning achievement, a breathless yet precisely controlled joyride full of vivid characters, hairpin turns and did-that-just-happen moments — and a modernist fairy tale about big ambitions colliding with grubby street-level realities.”
