AGORA directed by Alejandro AmenĂ¡bar (2009) and starring Rachel Weisz and Max Minghella. Notwithstanding historical inaccuracies (not least the soldiers' armour) it was a moving story of the rational philosopher Hypatia set against the rising militancy of the Christians in Alexandria and the waning grip of the pagan and Jewish communities. I recommend it highly to those interested in thoughtful epics.
