Description

Adapted from a 1909 novel by Jack London yet set in a provocatively unspecified moment in Italy’s history, Martin Eden is a passionate and enthralling narrative fresco in the tradition of the great Italian classics. Martin (played by the marvelously committed Luca Marinelli, The Old Guard) is a self-taught proletarian with artistic aspirations who hopes that his dreams of becoming a writer will help him rise above his station and marry a wealthy young university student (Jessica Cressy). The dissatisfactions of working-class toil and bourgeois success lead to political awakening and destructive anxiety in this enveloping, superbly mounted bildungsroman. Winner of the Best Actor prize at the Venice Film Festival and the Platform Prize at the Toronto International Film Festival. Special Features: -Virtual Q&A with Luca Marinelli and Pietro Marcello (Courtesy of Film at Lincoln Center) -Interview with Pietro Marcello -Audio commentary by film scholar Giovanna De Luca, PhD -Theatrical trailer

This film follows the "life" of a red violin through multiple owners and generations. Is it cursed, some would say so as it effects each person in tragic ways.
