Historic drama set in a Roman Egyptian city province. The movie focuses on mathematics, astronomy and religious prejudice and bigotry issues prevalent at that time.
The sets, scenery and costumes were breathtaking. The acting was very convincing and Rachel Weisz in particular was excellent. I think it's a Spanish financed, produced and directed movie but this fact does not manifest itself in the film.
I think that this is a film that has escaped the attention of most moviegoers but I'm pleased for one that I've seen it and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.
