Marty Supreme was excellent. Similar to Good Time, including in its intense throbbing soundtrack and bright lighting. I’d say that Good Time was more of a tour de force, but Marty Supreme was just as good in its own way. The only thing I didn’t get was why the soundtrack was loaded with songs from the 80s. Was this supposed to represent that the events were being interpreted from the perspective of their child, looking back from that later decade? Also, near the very beginning there was a jarring anachronism when Marty describes something as being in somebody’s DNA. They wouldn’t have said that in 1952. At first I thought this was just a slip-up in the script that didn’t get caught by anyone, but now I’m wondering if it was on purpose, a hint that the entire movie is an imaginative reconstruction from thirty years later.
