Description
The tale of an individualist proletarian in a time marked by the rise of mass political movements. In early 20th-century Italy, illiterate sailor Martin Eden seeks fame as a writer while torn between the love of a bourgeois girl and allegiance to his social class.
The film itself was shot very beautifully, the music was chosen beautifully, the direction and cinematography were excellent. Casting is something with something, Martin Eden came out literally the way I imagined him reading the book. The plot, however, turned out to be very crumpled, especially at the end. The average viewer will not have time to get used to some characters or even understand who is who, but they disappear in the blink of an eye and reappear at an unexpected moment. Watching some moments, I just read the dialogues from the book or see on the screen many details that are described in the work. A lot of work has been done, Italians know how to play and make movies. It is clear that the film was shot with a soul and respect for the original source. And it's all shot in the spirit of old movies... An indescribably beautiful movie and a strong story from Jack London.
