Safdie's new ping pong movie drops with a stacked soundtrack. The film Marty Supreme, directed by Josh Safdie and starring Timothée Chalamet, was released today alongside its score by Daniel Lopatin. The composer, also known as Oneohtrix Point Never, created the music to reflect the mercurial nature of the main character, a 1950s table tennis champion. The track Force Of Life features vocals from Weyes Blood's Natalie Mering and percussion from Laraaji. Lopatin described aiming for a sound between tradition and invention, using neoclassical and electronic textures.
The movie itself is a cameo frenzy set against an anachronistic 80s soundtrack. Despite its 1952 New York setting, the film includes hits from Alphaville and Tears for Fears. The cast features Gwyneth Paltrow, Tyler, The Creator, and Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary. Random appearances include Gang Gang Dance singer Lizzi Bougatsos, rapper Wiki, magician Penn Jillette, and a Gristedes CEO. Chalamet performed a major promotional stunt by scaling the Sphere in Las Vegas. Reviews have been positive, though electronic artist Marc Rebillet publicly dissed the film.
