Accessing Pietro Marcello’s adaptation of Martin Eden, Clarice Stasz

Pietro Marcello’s interpretation of Martin Eden into post WWII Italy may not show up at your local cinema. It has won many awards as well as listed at the top or close to on various 2020 best movie lists. You can rent it on MUBI.com for free under their 7-day trial, or for $4.99 if you are already a member. Another free outlet for some is Kanopy, available through some public libraries, schools, and universities.

Here’s a helpful commentary from someone familiar with London and Italian society.https://www.kpbs.org/news/2020/oct/16/jack-londons-martin-eden-italian-film-adaptation/

I found the movie engrossing, with Pietro Marcello’s portrayal of Martin irresistible. Don’t miss!
