Screening and Discussion of "Marty Supreme" (OmU)
We cordially invite you to screen a highly acclaimed film with us on the day of its release in Germany: "Marty Supreme".
Set in the high-stakes world of competitive table tennis, Marty Supreme follows Marty Mauser (Timothée Chalamet), a prodigiously talented young player whose life is shaped by an all-consuming drive to win. As Marty rises through the ranks, his focus on competition begins to overtake everything else, affecting his relationships and narrowing his world. What starts as a story of promise gradually reveals the personal cost of total dedication, as Marty’s sense of purpose becomes inseparable from success itself.
Directed by Josh Safdie, Marty Supreme unfolds with an intense immediacy, drawing the viewer deep into Marty’s inner life. Chalamet delivers a striking, physically committed performance, capturing both the confidence and volatility of a character propelled forward by belief in his own potential. He is joined by Gwyneth Paltrow (Kay Stone), whose controlled and measured presence provides a crucial counterpoint within the film.
Marty Supreme has been nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director (Josh Safdie), and Best Actor (Timothée Chalamet), establishing it as one of the most widely recognized films of the year.
After the screening, we invite you to join us for a discussion about the movie with:
