Il Festival Internazionale del Cinema – Love & Anarchy viene organizzato ogni anno nel mese di settembre. L’intento del più grande Festival del Cinema, fondato nel 1988, è di celebrare l’arte del cinema con coraggio e senza pregiudizi promuovendo una selezione di film controversi e visualmente stupendi. Il Festival vuole completare l’offerta cinematografica di Helsinki proponendo film che diversamente non sarebbe possibile vedere sugli schermi nazionali.
In programma, oltre al classico di Visconti Morte a Venezia, il film Martin Eden di Pietro Marcello.

Death in Venice is topical for a multitude of reasons. The film premiered 50 years ago. The new documentary film The Most Beautiful Boy in the World, which is screened at the festival, tells the story of Björn Andersén, the film’s enchanting Tadzio. Moreover, the film adaptation based on Thomas Mann’s 1912 short story mirrors our time in a surprising way.
Death in Venice touches on, among other topics, the spread of an epidemic and the experience of living during one. The film takes place in 1910s Venice, plagued by cholera. The city is marked by a secret, decadence, that is also symbolic. The composer’s homosexual desire receives its grotesque punishment.

It is about an elderly gentleman with a platonic passion for a young boy and it is culled from a novella by Thomas Mann in which nothing much actually happens except within the mind’s eye. It is a very slow, precise, and beautiful film, proportioned by a master.

Pietro Marcello breathes new life into Jack London’s classic novel with an ambitious cinematic adaptation, in which tensions rise due to love and politics and Europop plays. The story has been moved from the United States to Italy, to an undefinable moment in the early 20th century.
Poor sailor Martin Eden (Luca Marinelli) helps a rich family’s son out of trouble and is rewarded with a visit to his family, whose refined daughter Elena (Jessica Cressy) captures Martin’s attention. His love for her alights a new passion in him: the man, who has travelled the world since he was 11, now wants to become a writer.
Martin wants to become “one of the eyes through which the world sees”. His thirst for knowledge is insatiable, as he writes about what he sees around him. However, to Elena his writing seems harsh, as it depicts a world invisible to the upper classes.
In stylish images shot on film, Martin Eden binds together film history influences with new innovations. The film is like its passionate and restless leading character, unwilling to chain himself to a single place. Luca Marinelli’s intense lead performance, awarded in the Venice Film Festival, has a dash of old Hollywood in its DNA.
