Radioactive (2019)
Country: GB/FR/US/CHI/HUN
Technical: col/2.39:1 109m
Director: Marjane Satrapi
Cast: Rosamund Pike, Sam Riley, Simon Russell Beale, Anya Taylor-Joy
Synopsis:
Polish Marya Sklodowska is working on existing science concerning Uranium when her abrasiveness gets her thrown out of the Paris state laboratories. She then meets Pierre Curie and their partnership brings love, new discoveries, and applications good and ill.
Review:
More than your typical biopic - there is actually precious little science at all - this instead leaps about in time a good deal, flashing forward to the twentieth century's ambivalent relationship with radiation. The film making is also relatively stately, avoiding that restlessness to which the genre is often prey, and communicating a sense of wonder amid all the horror.
