Le jeune Karl Marx

Karl Marx, a 26 year old journalist and philosopher, exiles in Paris with his wife, Jenny. They will make a decisive meeting, the one of Friedrich Engels, the appalled son of a rich industrialist. Raoul Peck's film powerfully materializes the thoughts of men and women concerned with the future of the world. The staging is clear. It relies on serious historical researches, a rigorous knowledge of the first Marx and Engels texts and an accurate narrative building yet never boring. Lively and topical, just like the class struggle, this work allows a rich reflection about the meaning of political action in a world led by economy. Jean-François Cazeaux.
