In Roman-ruled ancient Egypt, the brilliant astronomer Hypatia leads a group of disciples fighting to save the wisdom of the Ancient World from violent religious upheaval. Among these disciples are two men competing for her heart: the witty, privileged Orestes, and Davus, her young slave.
After grabbing an Oscar® with The Sea Inside, Alejandro Amenábar took us all by surprise with this ambitious journey to the last days of the Roman Empire. A lavish Swords-and-Sandals epic with impeccable historical commitment, celebrating one of the world’s first feminists—embodied by Rachel Weisz.
