Description

In the mid-20th century, working-class sailor Martin (Luca Marinelli) is swept into the world of the Italian aristocracy when he rescues a grateful young upper-class guy. Dazzled by this new world, and falling instantly in love with haute bourgeois Elena (Jessica Cressy), Martin plans to improve his lot in life as he pursues her. His route out of poverty? Become a successful writer. Undeterred by early failure, Martin eventually finds his authentic voice when he meets left-wing journalist Russ Brissenden (Carlo Cecchi), after which Elena?s world loses its appeal. Martin Eden, based on a Jack London novel is, claims Sight & Sound, ?one of the best films of the past decade?. (S)
