Timothée Chalamet is being talked about as a potential awards winner for his performance in Josh Safdie’s new film, ‘Marty Supreme,’ a drama set in the 1950s about ping pong. But the movie’s music is just as important as Chalamet’s acting to the film’s overall impact.
The movie features period-appropriate songs by artists like Fats Domino and Perry Como, but it’s the unexpected music choices that really stand out.
The film features several popular songs from the 1980s, such as Alphaville’s “Forever Young” during the opening and Tears for Fears’ “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” as the credits roll.
The director told Variety he started using 80s music in important scenes because he was really into Peter Gabriel’s 1982 song “I Have the Touch.” That song actually ended up being included in the movie’s final soundtrack.
Safdie noted that it was striking to see music from different eras combined with the visual style of the 1940s or early 1950s.

Marty Supreme score: Tracklist for Oneohtrix Point Never’s compositions
I’m really excited about the music in this film! Beyond the already amazing songs they’ve included, the original score is by Daniel Lopatin, who you probably know as Oneohtrix Point Never. He’s a fantastic electronic musician and also did the scores for films like Good Times and Uncut Gems, so we’re in for something special!
In an interview with Paste Magazine, Lopatin discussed the score and revealed that his inspiration came from many sources, including the game of ping pong.
He described how Marty Mauser’s personality – his energy, enthusiasm, intensity, and quickness – translated into the music, creating sounds that felt connected to the game’s atmosphere.
You can find the tracklist for the score – which can be listened to in full on Spotify – below:
