Short description
A historical drama set in Roman Egypt, concerning philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria and her relationship with her slave Davus, who is torn between his love for her and the possibility of gaining his freedom by joining the rising tide of Christianity.
What's left behind the scenes
- Hypatia is believed to have invented the hydrometer – an instrument for measuring liquid density. Her name is on a map of the Moon.
- The director's cut of the film, presented at the Cannes Film Festival, has a runtime of 141 minutes.
- The constellation pattern in the night sky accurately corresponds to the constellation pattern above the Roman Empire during the historical period depicted in the film. Special effects artists used specialized computer software to recreate it.
- Alejandro Amenábar wrote the screenplay for his film specifically for Rachel Weisz, who played the lead role.
