Martin Eden is a 2-hour biopic about a fictional character (created by Jack London a hundred years ago).
Biographies are of little enough interest as it is, but add to that the fact that this man never existed and you find yourself questioning the film's validity... until you realize the film wasn't made in the 50s, despite its look and feel, and that the director Pietro Marcello has painted a remarkable historical fresco. Don't see Martin Eden for the story, but don't miss this wonderful cinematic experience for its wealth of style.
