action
The film shows the life of Marie Curie from 1904 to 1911. Together with her husband Pierre Curie, she researches the isolation of the element radium, which they discovered . First attempts are made to use radioactivity in cancer therapy . Meanwhile, their second child is born. Pierre dies in an accident with a horse and cart . Despite her great sadness, Curie continues her research and takes over her husband's lectures at Paris University. At the first Solvay conference , in which she is the only woman to attend, she meets Albert Einstein , who makes her laugh with his charm. She is running for a place in the French academy of science , which previously consisted only of men. Those who continue to refuse to admit female members narrowly win the election. She starts an affair with her scientist friend, Paul Langevin . When his wife informs the press, Curie is publicly slandered. The Nobel Committee awarded her the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911, her second after the Physics Prize in 1903 . When they learn of the hostility, the Swedish ambassador tries to persuade them to give up voluntarily. But she does not agree and drives to Stockholm to give the acceptance speech.
Reviews
“To have tackled the portrayal of the“ Langevin Affair ”is the merit of the film - and this is also where its greatest weakness arises. Because Gruszka's Marie Curie strides continuously, long after the husband's death, as a woman of pain, bent and serious, albeit powerful, through the film. [...] loneliness: it is built up as an inevitable cause for the affair with Langevin. 'Life is trivial when you can't think together,' says Marie Curie at one point. It seems like she couldn't do without a partner. And so Noëlle, in his eagerness to justify the private misstep of her role model, counteracts the previously carefully constructed image of an independent, modern woman. "
“Instead of ticking off the individual stages in the physicist's life chronologically and placing everything in the overarching historical context, Noëlle approaches her protagonist from within and describes the effects of Curie's work on family, children and colleagues. When the scientist finally plunges into the momentous affair, the film even temporarily turns into a romance - and because Paul Langevin's wife Jeanne soon gets wind of the matter, there is noticeable momentum in the hitherto relatively low-tension story from this point on. Otherwise, the mainspring of the plot is the struggle against male resistance in the prejudiced and sexist world of physicists and chemists. […] Cinematographer Michal Englert […] immerses the story in sensual, atmospheric images. [...] 'Marie Curie' is a well-cast, precisely researched and well-photographed film, but it is rarely really emotional. "
