A very good portrait, both psychological and social, of the society issues in the Italian post-war period. The setting and background are well recreated and narrated. I cannot give a full evaluation as I have never read the original novel, and therefore it is impossible for me to estimate how much this film departed from the novel.

The sailor who dreams of being a writer. The Jack London novel is takes place in Naples, in an Italy that begins to understand the power of the "popolo". A socialist who is not a socialist.

Footage inserts try to complete the story, but end up being inconvenient.

_Martin Eden_ is a 2-hour biopic about a fictional character (created by Jack London a hundred years ago).

Don't see _Martin Eden_ for the story, but don't miss this wonderful cinematic experience for its wealth of style.

Now it is quite possible that I just wasn't in the right frame of mind when I saw this, but somehow it just misfired. Luca Marinelli is the eponymous character hell bent on improving his lot from a pretty meagre upbringing. His opportunity comes when he rescues the young "Arturo" from some local bul More
