Agora (2009)

SINOPSIS :

Agora (2009)

Set in Roman Egypt in 391 A.D., this historical drama tells us the story of Davus, a slave who seeks in Christianity the freedom he always yearned while he falls in love for his master, the renowned astronomer and philosopher Hypatia. During the religious riots led by fanatic Christians who invaded the streets of Alexandria, the young woman is trapped inside the Library of Alexandria…

This is the second English speaking movie by Alejandro Amenabar (The Others) and we have to confess the trailer is pretty eye catching. The fact that Rachel Weisz is the leading female actress adds even more interest to the movie. Also the movie was filmed in Malta and the settings are quite spectacular.

The release is planned to later this year (18th December) in the US, but the movie will appear on the screens earlier in Cannes Festival in May and the 2nd September in Spain.

Certainly one of the movies we are eager to see this year!
