Miss Marx

The future is on our side.

Directed by Susanna Nicchiarelli

Produced by Vivo Film, Tarantula

A historical drama tracing Eleanor Marx's struggle between her public idealism and private vulnerability, ultimately a tragedy of unfulfilled potential.

In her public persona, Eleanor “Tussy” Marx was a translator, actress, a children’s rights activist and a persuasive labour organizer, a tireless powerhouse determined to carry on her father’s work. She held her own with twentieth century gods, including both her father and his colleague Engels. In her privately life, however, she was vulnerable and her attraction to the self-indulgent and self-important Edward Aveling led her into misery and ultimately proved fatal.
