Review of Agora (2009) by Perseu E — 21 Feb 2011
Set in Ptolemaic Egypt, 'Agora' is smart fun for the secular, skeptical crowd. Weisz's stunning turn as Hypatia gives the rational a relatable martyr and highlights the theocratic turmoil abundant in Roman Empire.
A captivating film with slick soundtrack from Marianelli, some may see Amenabar's direction as unpalatable due to its conflations.
