About this product
Product Information
The setting is Alexandra, Egypt of 391 A.D., and the pagan ruling class has seen an influx in the number of followers of Jesus Christ within city walls. Initially they constitute a minority, and the astronomical theories of Ptolemy, as taught by the respected philosopher Hypatia (Rachel Weisz), are among the many pursuits of scientific knowledge that remain the dominant mode of thinking. But as the number and influence of Christians increase, outbreaks of violence in Agora square become common, a standoff forces the Roman Emperor to choose sides. Amidst the tense action, a fourth century slave, played convincingly by Max Minghella, is confronted with his love for his intellectual alchemist master, Hypatia of Alexandria, and the temptations of freedom spurred by the rise of Christianity in this historical epic from acclaimed filmmaker Alejandro Amenabar.

Additional Information
The setting is Alexandra, Egypt of 391 A.D., and the pagan ruling class has seen an influx in the number of followers of Jesus Christ within city walls. Initially they constitute a minority, and the astronomical theories of Ptolemy, as taught by the respected philosopher Hypatia (Rachel Weisz), are among the many pursuits of scientific knowledge that remain the dominant mode of thinking. But as the number and influence of Christians increase, outbreaks of violence in Agora square become common, a standoff forces the Roman Emperor to choose sides. Amidst the tense action, a fourth century slave, played convincingly by Max Minghella, is confronted with his love for his intellectual alchemist master, Hypatia of Alexandria, and the temptations of freedom spurred by the rise of Christianity in this historical epic from acclaimed filmmaker Alejandro Amenabar. <BR><BR>No expense has been spared in building a rich, three-dimensional recreation of Alexandria, teeming with thousands of extras. As Hypatia, Rachel Weisz gives an assured performance with the intentional mix of classical and current sensibilities. If viewers can see through to the deeper themes of tolerance and compassion, or simply want to experience the awe of this enriching spectacle, Agora is sure to encapsulate and enthral all audiences.
Reviews
The Guardian - Alejandro Amenßbar has made an ambitious, cerebral and complex movie set in fourth-century Alexandria, the era in which the famous library was destroyed., L.A. Times - The subject is absorbing [...], Empire - Always intelligent and thought-provoking, it's a welcome return from Amenßbar., Variety - [...] a visually imposing, high-minded epic that ambitiously puts one of the pivotal moments in Western history onscreen for the first time.
