Movies, too, are often narratives of individual glory, and by making Martin’s journey so cinematically compelling, Marcello slowly traps us in the character’s increasingly repellent beliefs. But filmmaker Pietro Marcello has done an impressive job capturing the heart and soul of the book. Going beyond this first reading, however, 'Martin Eden' not only tells the story of a young proletarian who falls in love with a young woman of a higher social class and begins to dream of becoming a writer, it also paints the portrait of a successful artist (a shadowy self-portrait of Jack London himself), who inevitably loses the sense of his own art. Review: ‘Martin Eden’ is a story of self-defeat — and a triumphant adaptation of Jack London’s novel. Martin Eden is a 2019 Italian-French historical romance drama film directed by Pietro Marcello, loosely based on the 1909 novel of the same name by Jack London. That dubious sense of defiance — with its undercurrent of inevitable defeat — powers the film’s working-class protagonist (played by the mesmerizing Luca Marinelli, most recently seen as a member of The Old Guard), fusing his literary ambitions with an almost pathological individualism. In reviewing a film like The Adventures Of Martin Eden we have the benefit of over 60 years of hindsight and a whole career of Glenn Ford to look back on. October Surprise!

(Martin Eden would make an interesting double feature with Marco Bellocchio’s Vincere, which shows how Benito Mussolini went from socialist firebrand to fascist megalomaniac.).

I think my father as a young man tapped into the hope and dreams of the early part of the book and later grew to appreciate the complexity of the novel. The cuts are never seamless — we can almost always tell when Marcello has inserted some nonfiction into the movie — and the collagelike images become an epic invocation of the wide universe that gives Martin’s writing its life, that animates both his desire to create and his desire to overcome his surroundings.
