Martin Eden's reviews
Media reviews
El Mundo
Between the oxymoron and the synesthesia, the adaptation of the autobiographical text of Jack London proposed by the Italian director overwhelms. And, at times, it excites.
Fotogramas
The aesthetic journey proposed by the film has the power to transfigure the viewer's perception.
The Hollywood Reporter
The film works best when it concentrates on the protagonist?s very personal journey. [...] But Marcello never quite manages to shoehorn in both more than a century?s worth of European struggles and sociopolitical thinking and the full story of Eden?s downfall after he?s finally become successful.
Variety
While the resulting mise-en-scène feels like a distinctive blend of recognizable techniques, [...] the overarching impression is of a film too much in thrall to theory.
