    • Trivia
      The 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.

    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      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.

    A bit of a letdown
    Marie Curie became more prominent after her death especially around the early years this century, so a film about her life and achievements was a welcome view. There are a few changes in the facts, probably to make this move more dramatic, but perhaps the book from which this film derives, was written like that. The tough days in Marie Curie's life when she arrived in Paris is hardly touched, which undoubtedly lead to her stubborn attitude which is over characterized in this film. In real life she was not such a hard and difficult person.
