Martin Eden

Director: Pietro Marcello
Stars:  Luca MarinelliJessica Cressy

Ever since I saw the picture, I have been thinking that I have to write something about it. But I could not understand how to write that. But the picture is not that incomprehensible. Martin Eden is the lead character of this film. He falls in love with the daughter of a rich man. Martin’s education is meagre. For his love’s sake, he goes to school again. After going to school, he decides that he wants to be a writer. The more Martin studies, the more the distance between him and his lover increases. He started writing from a rented house in the village. Most of his writings are sad, and very few people like them. But fortunately, a magazine agreed to print his novel. Gradually he started to become famous. Meanwhile, he gets involved in some political issues. He was skeptical about the role of the individual in socialism. As he grew older, he became cynical in nature. When he was younger, some of his ideas were clear. But with age, he became more complicated.
It is not clear what period the story belongs to. The clothes look like 1920, but some houses look like 1940-1950. The newsreel of the silent Age is shown at the beginning of the movie. The director wanted to make it clear that duration is not important here.
Marinelli is a force of nature in every scene and doesn’t play Eden so much as inhabit him.

I'm not going to write a biodata here. I think about life, try to understand my deepest desires. I try to take help from Cinema. I try to find myself in films. I try to fulfill my unfinished fantasies through films. It sounds weird, doesn't it?
