Marty Supreme arrives disguised as a scrappy sports comedy but gradually reveals itself as something far richer, a character study about obsession, hunger, self-sabotage and the uneasy bargain between talent and morality. Set in a nervy, smoke-stained 1950s New York, the film follows Marty Mauser, a frenetic shoe salesman who pours his manic energy into the fringe universe of professional table tennis. What begins as a quirky hustle soon mutates into a full-blown obsession.
