Agora” premiered at the
Cannes Film Festival, introducing audiences to the little-known scholar Hypatia, a brilliant astronomer and mathematician working in a man’s world in 4th century A.D. Egypt.
Earlier we posted the
teaser trailer for the movie but today we have an revised trailer for “Agora” with English title treatments and in much better quality. Check it out below.
Rachel Weisz plays astrologer-philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria, who fights to save the collected wisdom of the ancient world. Her slave Davus (
