Whereas the French film ‘Marie Curie et la lumiere bleue’ depicts the Curies as a happy and well-adjusted—‘normal’ is the wrong word—this 1943 classic is more endearing. Marie and Pierre are shown as gentle and unworldly, maybe a trifle self-absorbed, but the sort of people one would want to move in next door. I was going to conjure a suburban landscape crowded with scientist-philosophers contemplating the stars and challenging accepted notions, but that is too bizarre even for me. A beautifully made film in every way, at once touching and inspiring.
