Venice: ‘Miss Marx’ Director Susanna Nicchiarelli on Karl Marx’s Feminist Daughter
’s “Nico, 1988,” about the German singer who performed with the Velvet Underground, made a splash in Venice in 2017 when it took top honors in the cutting-edge Horizons section. She’s back on the Lido – now in the main competition – with another biopic, “,” about Karl Marx’s ill-fated younger daughter Eleanor, a fervent feminist pioneer played by Golden Globe nominee Romola Garai .
A lot of the work when you are writing about a person that really existed is trying to understand who that person really was. With Nico this was done with interviews. With Eleanor Marx it was through letters. Letters that she wrote to other people; letters about her, written by her friends. You try to understand the person through what they produced, both on a private and a public basis, and from the way others saw them.
That’s exactly the feeling I had. And that’s why I thought it was the best comment she could give me about the script. I knew she understood what the challenge was: the greatest feminist of all time had a horrible relationship with her partner and let him treat her very badly. Though there are exceptions, I think the 19th century is often told as if you are looking at an old picture. But instead I wanted the image to be very modern, very colorful. And I wanted them to wear the costumes in a very natural way…with their hair messed up.
