Our New York-based series of video interviews with great filmmakers continues with a discussion with Raoul Peck (I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO) about his new biopic, THE YOUNG KARL MARX. Read our introduction on the Notebook: http://mubi.io/2CFJ8pB
Peck could easily have turned Marx into spectacle, but what better gift than a romantic treatment of Marxism, the kind that only the cinema can provide? He’s made Marx into a figure liberal audiences will recognize from the dozens of torturous biopics they give money and prizes too every year. That’s a sly victory in and of itself. Make a film that behaves, in its structure, like a conventional story of an underdog inventor or movie-autistic genius. Give Marx back to the people, as it were.
