It is a deeply moving film about reason and faith, set in IVth century Alexandria.
I never planned on using this blog to advertise my tastes, but this film brilliantly succeeds in conveying a lot of the themes, ideas and feelings I'm trying to go for in my stories... and... well, I just want people to see it. No US release is scheduled (yet), but keep an eye out if you want to see the most intelligent and moving roman epic since Spartacus.
