The story of Karl Marx’s youngest daughter Eleanor, a social reformer and women's rights activist played by British actress Romola Garai, is told with a modern sensibility by Italian director Susanna Nicchiarelli
There’s something that seems to jinx biopics about Karl Marx and his family. Perhaps it’s the irreconcilable need to talk respectfully about these early defenders of the working class while at the same time making their life’s work relevant to audiences. Few today readby Marx and Friedrich Engels, but many more could potentially get the highlights from a gripping film. We’re still waiting for that movie.a few years ago, it’s the turn of Susanna Nicchiarelli to carry the burden in.
Obtrusive music aside, this portrait of a Victorian woman torn between her public and private lives, her intellect and her heart, is a depressing spectacle, all the more so because, thanks to British actress Romola Garai’s vulnerable portrait of Marx and her flaws, the audience is so strongly on Eleanor’s side.
Announcing to her friends that she has decided to live with the man she loves as his wife — even though Eddie is already married and unable to get divorced — she sounds like a young woman expanding the space of freedom for the generations to come. In reality, she is falling into a time-worn emotional trap.
