Karl Marx and his ideas have been represented in film in genres ranging from documentary to fictional drama, Art house and comedy. The Marxist theories of socialism, communism, class struggle, ideology and political economy influenced early Soviet-era filmmakers such as Dziga Vertov and Sergei Eisenstein. Eisenstein’s theory of montage owed its “intellectual basis to Marxist dialectics”. However, in addition to his philosophical influence on 20th century cinema and film-makers, Marx’s life and times and his principal works have all been represented in film as subjects in their own right. Eisenstein’s project, dating from 1927, to film Marx’s book ''Das Kapital'' was never realised, although in more recent years the German film director and author Alexander Kluge completed a lengthy homage to Eisenstein’s unrealised film entitled ''News from Ideological Antiquity: Marx - Eisenstein - Das Kapital''. In the 1960s French new wave directors, notably Jean-Luc Godard, used Marxist themes in their work, including in the films ''Week End'', ''La Chinoise'' and ''Tout va bien''. In the 1970s the Serbian director Dušan Makavejev made films which were critical and/or satirical of Marx and Marxist ideology.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Senses of Cinema'' interview with Dušan Makavejev )〕 In 2007 it was reported that the Haitian director Raoul Peck was writing and directing a Karl Marx biopic about Marx's early life, although the film is yet to be released. The 2011 documentary film ''Marx Reloaded'' combines a Marxian analysis of economic crisis with satirical animation sequences involving Marx and Leon Trotsky. ==''Week End''== Jean-Luc Godard’s ''Week End'' is a story of a bourgeois Parisian husband and wife who decide to escape to the countryside for the weekend only to be confronted there by the social contradictions of their consumer lifestyle. The film makes frequent references to Marx and revolution, reflecting the wider social issues of French society at the time of its production.〔See David Sterritt, ''The Films of Jean-Luc Godard: Seeing the Invisible'' (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1997), p. 83.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Karl Marx in film」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
