Zusammenfassung
Empfohlene Bewertungen
I did not like this story line. We needed to see far more about HER life, e.g. the circumstances that brought her to France from Poland, or more insight into her struggles, as a woman, to actually conduct her science.
The film itself was atmospheric but so much of it was wasted on NOT advancing her story.
Sad effort. Just sad.
It's so strange how poor this film is, given the immense talent behind it. On screen, Rosamund Pike and Sam Riley star, while Persepolis director Marjane Satrapi helms the film. Yet despite that talent, Radioactive feels almost amateurish at its worst.
Its screenplay is poor throughout, from its lack of dramatic insight to its consistently terrible dialogue. The early moments of the film are insufferable, chronicling Marie's meeting with future husband Pierre through scenes of awkward and forced scientific flirting.
Later on, Radioactive tries to grab your attention with its assessment of the standing of women in the scientific community, but does little to make that theme really get under your skin. In fact, the most memorable part of that theme is Curie's repeated assertions that it was not her gender that stood most in her way as a scientist at the time, but her background and funds.
And with relatively little focus on her background, there isn't much of an inspiring, uplifting arc for Curie here. Instead, there are a few eureka moments interspersed by long, dry and dull periods with barely any memorable drama to show.
Even stranger is the way in which the film tries to represent the long-term, controversial effects of Curie's discovery of radioactivity. Almost randomly, the film throws in bizarre vignettes from the future showing the uses of the discovery for good and bad, including the bombing of Hiroshima and the development of nuclear weapons.
That all but ruins any narrative flow in the film, only reinforcing the fact that Radioactive really is a bit of an amateurish work. Marjane Satrapi's generally unappealing style and drab direction do little to keep you engaged, while even leads like Sam Riley and to an extent Rosamund Pike are below their best.
It's a real shame, because it's clear that Marie Curie's is a great story, and with so much talent working in this film, you would expect a whole lot more from Radioactive. But, as a painfully dull, stale and even amateurish biopic, there's little positive to say about it.
I think, they should have created a more inspirational movie about her story such as how her curiosity led to these great achivements and acceptance and respect in a male-dominant society to inspire the future of young scientist. Applications and the results of her invention should have been in a separate movie which includes all the scientists whom inventions brought certain costs when they fall into wrong hands.

- WissenswertesThe film is based on the graphic novel ''Radioactive: Marie & Pierre Curie: A Tale of Love and Fallout'' by Lauren Redniss. This is director Marjane Satrapi's first film based on a graphic novel that she didn't write. Two of her films, "Persepolis" and "Chicken with Plums," are based on graphic novels written solely by Satrapi.
- PatzerEve Curie was born Dec. 6, 1904. The Curies won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903, as shown. But Eve is shown to be born before they are even nominated.

Pierre Curie: You changed the world.
Marie Curie: In the right way?
Pierre Curie: I'd rather be someone that hopes the world full of light than fears for the darkness out there, wouldn't you?
Marie Curie: But I...
Pierre Curie: You threw a stone in the water. The ripples, you can't control. There are things to be scared of, but there's so much to celebrate.
Marie Curie: I hope you're right. I hope you're right.
