Cinema: Marty Supreme (2025)

Let's try a central venue: The Garden Cinema is between Covent Garden and Holbon. I want to see this because of the time period and setting - it sounds like they did a great job. Timothée Chalamet's performance in particular is getting a lot of praise.

Plot: "There is towering suspense amongst the organised chaos, and the plot pushes aggressively forward, demanding full attention for the hefty runtime. But Marty Supreme also revels in its sense of place - a vivid depiction of 1950s New York Jewish community is captured in exquisite detail, and is populated with big, idiosyncratic characters, all of whom feel lived in. The anachronistic use of 80s music blends in seamlessly, never feeling pretentious or like a stylistic gimmick."

"Marty Supreme isn’t actually a ‘ping-pong movie’. Josh Safdie’s acclaimed new film is really about ambition, sex, money, fame, greed, risk, destiny, desire"
"Marty Mauser, an aspiring table tennis champion who navigates a chaotic journey filled with scams and ambition in pursuit of greatness. The film explores his struggles and relationships"
"Nobody was expecting the Marty Supreme world premiere at October’s New York Film Festival, but the response from critics in attendance is glowing."

Let's meet in the bar downstairs for a drink before the film starts at 8pm. The attendance fee is £2.50, hope you can join me.
