Movie Radioactive on Amazon Prime |
|

The
Amazon original movie studio presents Radioactive,
directed by Marjane Satrapi based on the graphic novel by Laurel
Redniss of the same title.
This 2019 biopic of the double Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie
(nee Maria Skłodowska) features a brilliant performance by
Rosamund Pike as Madame Curie with Sam Riley as Pierre Curie.
The film script is apparently a bit overloaded, but it
highlights all the key moments of her life including discovery
of polonium and radium, tragic death of her husband and the love
affair with the mathematician Paul Langevin.
Where: on Amazon Prime Video
