"Resetting Jack London’s 1909 semi-autobiographical novel from Northern California to Naples, 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) 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). A superbly mounted bildungsroman on the backdrop of a country in turmoil, by one if Italy’s most visionary contemporary filmmakers, Martin Eden won the Best Actor prize at the Venice Film Festival and the Platform Prize at the Toronto International Film Festival."
