Marie Curie

2016 · 95 min

A somber, intelligent period drama that immerses you in a brilliant woman's struggles with grief and prejudice, rewarding but rarely light.

Directed by: Marie Noëlle
Genres: Drama, History
Starring: Karolina Gruszka, Arieh Worthalter, Charles Berling

Overview: The most turbulent five years in the life of a genius woman: Between 1905, where Maria Skłodowska-Curie comes with Pierre Curie to Stockholm to be awarded the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the radioactivity, and 1911, where she receives her second Nobel Prize, after challenging France's male-dominated academic establishment both as a scientist and a woman.
