Agora - Die Säulen des Himmels (2009)
Alexandria, 391 n. Christi. Nicht nur für ihre Schönheit, sondern auch ihre Intelligenz wird Hypatia bewundert, die Mathematik, Astronomie und Philosophie unterrichtet. Von zwei Männern, einem ehemaligen Sklaven und einem ehemaligen Schüler, wird sie geliebt, doch von anderen auch misstrauisch beobachtet. Für fundamentalistische Christen, die immer mehr Macht gewinnen, ist die Heidin eine Reizfigur. Für konservative Kräfte, die eine Frau mit Einfluss und Verstand nicht dulden, auch. Hypatias tragisches Ende ist damit vorgezeichnet.
Der Regisseur: Alejandro Amenábar
