Each are beautifully composed, dreamlike interludes with eye-popping colors so over-saturated that they verge on the nightmarish (one scene in a fake suburb built to be annihilated in the bomb test is so garishly colored it feels like the filmmakers are trying to one-up Tim Burton).But while those moments bring to the film a dynamism and relevance that many historical narratives lack, they also come at the detriment of the primary plotline. Film crews follow them as they file briefs, struggle to balance family and work life, cope with surprising rulings, and—in a moment of unrehearsed farce—do battle with Microsoft Word’s imperfect dictation feature. Following a framing sequence in which the elderly scientist is taken to a hospital in 1934, the film shows her as a bright and prickly researcher being kicked out of a Parisian university by an administrator (Simon Russel Beale) who huffs and puffs about her impertinence. Rarely has a filmmaker captured so delicately how we play different roles in different people’s lives, our identities shifting with an ease that’s scary when one gives it a moment of thought. Threatening to bring this inchoate bitterness and hostility to a head is the renter of the Airbnb, Taylor (Toby Huss), who seems to enter the building at his own discretion and has a habit of saying creepy things to the women, especially to Mina, who’s of Middle Eastern descent and believes Taylor is racist for ignoring her own request for the Airbnb.Franco allows this wealth of backstory to arise naturally, and he has a mighty command of silence as a measurement of emotional aftershock, in the wake of careless or mean-spirited comments, and as a precursor to rationalizing reckless actions. Not long after, she’s courted by another researcher, Pierre Curie (Sam Riley), who knows the right way to flirt with such a focused and intense personality: “I read your paper.” Taken to see Pierre’s gloomy lab, she pronounces it “basic,” but with her customary air of slight perturbation, she agrees to work there and soon marry him.The actual work that Marie and Pierre get up to in that lab is dispensed with in a few brisk descriptions and the type of explanatory narrated animation sequences that The way the film tells it, fame came easy for the Curies. We catch threatening glimpses of knives hanging in the kitchen and weathered porcelain figures of animals, the sickly sounds of Magda’s trademark red-brown gulasch being prepared and eaten, and lingering close-ups on structural damage that may or may not actually be arcane pagan symbols. She’s convinced that she’s going to die, which her friend, Jane (Jane Adams), attributes to Amy’s falling off the wagon. We’re primed to suspect Taylor, who’s so conspicuously odd that you’ll probably think he’s being presented as a red herring. 1. A dose of the tangy humor and cynicism that enlivens Satrapi’s graphic novels could have brought some life to the somewhat moribund last third of the film in particular. He’s of a piece with his nature, and he leaves the story as he entered it: unchanged and unbowed by the carnage he’s both witness to and agent of.The short was inspired by a powerful involuntary mania that took hold of the citizens of Strasbourg just over 500 years ago.In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s easy to see how Glazer’s mind was drawn to these not-uncommon dancing raves. However, that acceptance was likely because the sexist scientific establishment could better stomach Marie’s seeming impertinence (“I’m going to prove them wrong, just like Newton did”) when she was paired with a man, and soon turns against her after a tabloid scandal reminds the French that she’s a foreigner.
On one hand, it shows a young Catholic father trying to raise his family without getting drawn into the troubles.
Seimetz is principally concerned with mood, with stylized dread that’s created by lingering on everyday objects and the use of slow motion and frenzied color schemes.
