Miss Marx, a feminist reading of the life of Karl Marx’s youngest daughter, Eleanor Marx, will open in Australian cinemas on March 3.
Filmmaker Susanna Nicchiarelli believes Eleanor Marx’s story, “with its incongruity between public and private life, gives us an insight into the complexity of the human soul, revealing the fragility of our illusions and the deadliness of certain romantic relationships.”
Telling Eleanor’s life story, Nicchiarelli adds, “is an opportunity to discuss topics that are so modern that they can still be called revolutionary today, a century and a half later”.
