Miss Marx is a 2020 biographical period drama film about Eleanor Marx, written and directed by Susanna Nicchiarelli. A co-production between Italy and Belgium, this English-language film stars Romola Garai as Marx and Patrick Kennedy as her lover Edward Aveling.

It had its world premiere in the main international competition section at the 77th Venice Film Festival on 5 September 2020.

Plot

The educated and brilliant Eleanor Marx, the youngest daughter of Karl Marx, is at the forefront of promoting socialism in the United Kingdom, participating in workers' struggles, fighting for women's rights and the abolition of child labor. In 1883, she met Edward Aveling, a talented playwright but a selfish and wasteful man. While he is intent on getting into debt and consuming the legacy left to Eleanor by Friedrich Engels, Edward does not realize that he is also consuming the entire existence of his devoted companion, who, although aware that she is experiencing the same "moral oppression" imposed by the patriarchy and condemned by her, she is unable to redeem her own happiness, and ultimately not even her own life. In the scene where Eleanor and Edward play the famous dialogue between Nora and Helmer during the staging of Ibsen's A Doll's House, the two characters seem to trace through the words of another the unjust fate destined for Eleanor as well as for many others: the fate of a woman conditioned and limited throughout her life by the male figures most dear to her. In 1898 Eleanor loses all energy and, addicted to opium, kills herself.
