Screening and Conversation: Radioactive with Rosamund Pike and Marjane Satrapi

Dir. Marjane Satrapi. 2020, 109 mins. With Rosamund Pike, Sam Riley, Aneurin Barnard, Anya Taylor-Joy, Simon Russell Beale. Museum of the Moving Image is pleased to present an advance screening of Marjane Satrapi’s historical drama Radioactive, based on the incredible life and work of Marie Sklodowska Curie (portrayed by Rosamund Pike), who overcame personal and professional hardships to become one of the most famous scientists of all time and the first woman to win a Nobel Prize—and the first person to receive two. Satrapi’s film both dramatizes Curie’s discoveries and tells a thoughtful account of the role scientists, and women, play in society, reminding us that we live in a world that Curie helped form. Radioactive is adapted from Lauren Redniss’s graphic novel of the same name. On Saturday, July 18 following the 1:00 p.m. EDT screening, Satrapi and Pike will participate in a live online conversation and Q&A moderated by Science on Screen curator Sonia Epstein. Radioactive will be officially released on July 24 on Amazon Prime.

“As startling as it is to see the beloved scientist hated in her time, that we’re able to see this headstrong legend as a sexual being at all is a credit to how much [Rosamund] Pike gradually humanizes her as a woman, while never pleading for our pity.”—Variety
