It is a film "about the conflict between reason and feeling, about how much the strength of convictions, of our ideas can crumble in the face of the emotional sphere. And in this it is a story that is neither ancient nor modern but out of time" Susanna tells ANSA Nicchiarelli presenting Miss Marx, her film in competition at Venice 77 and from 17 September in cinemas with 01.
It is the story of a special woman "activist, socialist, translator, actress, politically committed, a genius" adds Romola Garai, the English actress who on the big screen is Eleanor Marx, the youngest child of Karl Marx, "the most loved and pampered, which according to legend she drew under the table while her father was writing Il Capitale ", continues the director who with the film removes the figure of an anticipating woman from oblivion, with special communication skills and very clear ideas about workers' rights, fight against child labor, on women's rights.
All this in contrast with her love life, her persevering in a love story with a 'wrong' person, who exploits her, betrays her, does not deserve her feelings and will lead her to suicide, a liberating act ".
According to Nicchiarelli "there is no female" to ride in this story: "I know many men struggling with wrong love stories. It is not a story about women but universal and transversal".
