film recommendation


to watch if you like:
  • astronomy
  • strong, independent, intellectual women uninterested in finding a husband
  • the scientific and philosophical atmosphere of Alexandria in late antiquity
  • internal and external religious conflicts between early Christian sects, Jews, and pagans in the 5th century
  • the perceived dichotomy of science and religion, and how some people chose to either reconcile the two or ultimately sacrifice one for the other
  • the problems concerning extreme fundamentalism and the interpretation of scripture
  • Oscar Isaac
  • gorgeous cinematography
  • thought provoking (and if you're like me, existential crisis inducing) imagery of humanity's place on this tiny rock hurtling through space
