Honda Baby: On Josh Safdieās Marty Supreme
by Nirris Nagendrarajah
The thing about TimothĆ©e Chalametāwho received critical acclaim for crying by a fireplace in Call Me By Your Name, and has been awarded for perfecting that very gesture before a nursery window in Marty Supremeāis that he seems incapable of ever becoming his characters.
His striking, houndish beauty has something to do with it, which is why, when his face appears dulled and cratered, we see how hard heās working at not being himself; though the greatest performances are, arguably, where you cannot see the effort, where all the chaos has been assimilated. If someone is always exploding, it becomes its own exhausting convention.
