I fear electromagnetic catastrophe': Josh Safdie on Marty Supreme, latent Jewish anxiety and why men are lost
"The film whose score draws significantly from the 1980s is A24's most expensive yet and a major awards hopeful for its star, director and writer. It also features one of the wildest and most characterful supporting casts ever assembled, including David Mamet, Sandra Bernhard, high-wire artista Philippe Petit, fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi, the British-Indian academic Pico Iyer, Abel Ferrara and Tyler the Creator."
"Gwyneth Paltrow has been lured out of retirement to play a faded film star, Gwen, with whom Marty begins an affair. Meanwhile Kevin O'Leary a Canadian entrepreneur known as Mr Wonderful on Shark Tank, the US version of Dragon's Den makes his film debut as her billionaire husband, Milton, with whom Marty shares a dynamic not unlike that between Guy Pearce and Adrien Brody in The Brutalist."
