Surpassing 100,000 Admissions as an 'Art-buster'

The film 'Marty Supreme,' starring Timothée Chalamet, continues its successful run in the independent and art film market. According to data from the Korean Film Council's integrated ticket sales system, 'Marty Supreme' recorded a cumulative audience of 102,095 as of July 12.

Based on the True Story of Table Tennis Player Marty Reisman

Directed by Joshua Safdie, who takes on solo directing for the first time in 17 years, this work was inspired by the true story of table tennis player Marty Reisman. It depicts the process of the protagonist Marty Mouser (played by Timothée Chalamet) racing toward the top, even at the risk of self-destruction.

The film deals with the obsession with success, human selfishness, and the desires hidden behind them. The musical elements that heighten the tension of the drama are also notable. 'Forever Young,' used in the teaser trailer, and 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World' from the main trailer also appear in the film itself.

Timothée Chalamet's Passionate Performance and Cast

At the center of this success is actor Timothée Chalamet. In an interview, director Joshua Safdie revealed that Chalamet showed such a passionate attitude that he was even asked to personally write directing notes on the filming set.

Guineeth Paltrow, Odessa Oziel, Abel Ferrara, and Kevin O'Leary appear in the film, adding weight to the drama. Including this work, Timothée Chalamet has achieved 26 Best Actor awards worldwide, including the Golden Globes and Critics Choice.

The film is currently playing in theaters nationwide, and a GV (Guest Visit) featuring actor Lee Je-hoon is scheduled to be held.
