Undoubtedly one of the most anticipated films of this winter, "Marty Supreme" has already generated plenty of buzz. Following a premiere hosted at the Grand Rex, a special pop-up dedicated to the movie briefly opened its doors in Paris’s 13th arrondissement for just one day. Set to hit French theaters on February 18, 2026, the film stars none other than Timothée Chalamet in the lead role. Since the breakout performance as Elio Perlman in 2017’s "Call Me by Your Name," this Franco-American actor has become a Hollywood darling. Fans have also spotted him in titles like "Little Women," "The French Dispatch," "Dune" (both parts 1 and 2), "Wonka," and "A Complete Unknown."
This winter, Timothée Chalamet makes his return to the screen in Marty Supreme. Directed by Josh Safdie, the biopic explores the life of American ping-pong prodigy Marty Mauser, a character inspired by real champion Marty Reisman.
On the soundtrack front, Daniel Lopatin composed the original score for the film. However, Marty Supreme, set in the 1950s, also features several must-have tracks from the 1980s. Notably, the film includes two songs by Tears for Fears, the iconic British new wave duo formed in 1981 by Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal. In an interview with Variety, director Josh Safdie explained his reasoning behind choosing these 80s tracks to punctuate key moments in the movie. He revealed that his decision was driven by an obsession with Peter Gabriel’s song I Have the Touch, which is also part of the film’s soundtrack.
The soundtrack of Marty Supreme also features songs from the English rock band New Order, the iconic Public Image Ltd.—a band formed in 1978 by Johnny Lydon—as well as from Alphaville, the German synth-pop group, and The Korgis, best known for their hit "Everybody’s Got To Learn Sometime." For the curious and music enthusiasts alike, here’s the full list of tracks featured on the Marty Supreme soundtrack.
