Titled "El Joven Marx", the feature film directed by the outstanding Haitian filmmaker, Raoul Peck, is scheduled for release in 2017.
Behind the direction of the feature film is the outstanding filmmaker Raoul Peck, a great enthusiast of critical cinema. Peck also directed the incredible and award-winning documentary "I Am Not Your Black" (2016), which explores the history of racism in the United States through reminiscences of James Baldwin, along with human rights figures Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King. The film is based on an unfinished manuscript of James Baldwin and was narrated by Samuel L. Jackson.
The film portraying the youth of Karl Marx is situated in 1844, right in the period when his friendship and intellectual collaboration with Friedrich Engels begins.
In 1843, Marx, played by the German actor Auguste Diehl, (of "bastards without glory"), loses his job of editor in the Gazeta Renana after being expelled by the Prussian government. Since then, the young Karl happened to be persecuted and before exiling in Paris, marries with Jenny Von Westphalen, interpreted by the Luxembourg actress Vicky Krieps (of "love and revolution").
Engels, played by actor Stefan Konarske, was the son of a major German industrialist, but despite that, he always showed concern with the working class. Sent by his parents to Manchester in 1842, he led his father's industry. With this experience, you can see up close the precarious conditions of the proletariat, which encourages you to investigate this reality and later publish the work "The situation of the working class in England".
In 1844, Engels decides to return to Germany, but at the request of Marx, they are in Paris, because by that time hardly they had exchanged correspondence. It is on that stage, at the height of the industrial revolution, which Le Jeune Karl Marx promises to make an accurate approach of the events that initiated the great friendship of the two revolutionaries, which resulted in great works, being perhaps the most important, The Capital and The Communist Manifesto . Engels also collaborated with Marx in the development of the method of analysis of the society called dialectical historical Materialism.

Though deeply suspicious probably need to see it at least to critique. Unfortunately I'll have to wait to post-theater as we won't drive to Atlanta or Charlotte to see a movie.

THE YOUNG KARL MARX
LE JEUNE KARL MARX
A film by Raoul Peck
2017 France, Belgium, Germany - Historical Drama
SYNOPSIS
At the age of 26, Karl Marx embarks with his wife Jenny on the road to exile. In Paris in 1844 they meet young Friedrich Engels, son of a factory owner, who’s studied the sordid beginnings of the English proletariat. Engels, somewhat of a dandy, brings Karl Marx the missing piece to the puzzle that composes his new vision of the world. Together, between censorship and police raids, riots and political upheavals, they will preside over the birth of the labor movement, which until then had been mostly makeshift and unorganized. This will grow into the most complete theoretical and political transformation of the world since the Renaissance – driven, against all expectations, by two brilliant, insolent and sharp-witted young men from good families.
