Amazon Studios releases the film on Prime Video July 24, nearly a year after its Toronto International Film Festival world premiere.
Oscar-nominated director Marjane Satrapi returns to filmmaking after a five-year hiatus with `Radioactive,` a biopic of Marie Curie starring Rosamund Pike in a powerhouse performance as the famed chemist and physicist.
`Radioactive,` which first bowed at the Toronto International Film Festival last September, tells the story of the pioneering scientist, beginning in the 1870s through her resonance in the 21st century, including her romantic and professional partnerships and breakthroughs in medical study that changed science forever. In late 19th-century Paris, the Polish-born Marie Sklodowska met fellow scientist Pierre Curie (Sam Riley). Together, they revolutionized the meaning of radioactivity, winning a Nobel Prize in Physics for their pioneering work, which made Curie the first woman to earn that prize. Pierre died tragically in 1906, sending Curie deeper into her field of study, winning a second Nobel Prize, but leading to devastating consequences, including the life-saving and life-destroying properties of her discovery, up until her death from exposure to radiation in 1934. The film also stars Anya Taylor-Joy.
