She was at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival to promote her latest starring role where she plays the scholar Hypatia and plays an astronomer in ancient Alexandria alongside the late director Anthony Minghella’s son Max in Roman Egypt.
The film is focused on Hypatia, who shuns romantic advances to devote herself completely to the study of the stars as religious violence rages around her. Her inspiration for this role came from her 85 year old aunt who she said” devoted her life to science”. Alejandro Amenabar from Chile is the films director and has an Oscar to his name.
Sample trailer below and a provisional rating of 3 stars from us based on the limited footage!
Rachel Weisz shone on the red carpet in green and was amongst a slew of stars attending this event with recently Mariah Carey for her film screening of Precious which got a high rating from us.
