Ali Abbasi’s English-language debut, ‘Supernova,’ delves into the formative years of Donald Trump, shedding light on the influences and relationships that shaped the controversial figure. The film traces Trump’s early real estate career, his association with the ruthless lawyer Roy Cohn, and the development of his signature tactics and beliefs. Despite being a conventional biopic, ‘Supernova’ offers a compelling portrayal of Trump’s rise to power, aided by strong performances from Sebastian Stan as Trump and Jeremy Strong as Cohn. While the film is likely to spark controversy, it provides a thought-provoking exploration of American exceptionalism and the dark arts of power and deception.
