I am a huge fan of the Italian composer Dario Marianelli. His film scores have been nominated by Academy Awards for Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, and Anna Karenina (all Joe Wright's films). It was in Atonement that he won the Oscar for Best Original Score. In Agora, it was no exception. Marianelli's uniqueness enhanced the drama in the film. The whole soundtrack is marvelous! But the ending scene is the most emotional. I've never thought that Alejandro Amenabar (Tesis, The Others, Mar Adentro) and Dario Marianelli would make a great team.
If you are loking for a beautiful soundtrack (Dario Marianelli), a great cast (Rachel Weisz, Oscar Isaac, Max Minghella), a fantastic direction (Alejandro Amenabar), a controversial theme (religion, feminism) and a great art direction, watch Agora.
*Note: There is a minor whitewashing. You'll see as soon as you watch the film!
