Agora (2009)
Stars: Rachel Weisz, Max Minghella, Oscar Isaac
Director: Alejandro Amenábar
The film is based on the life story of one of the most famous and beautiful women in the Roman Empire, the Greek philosopher Hypatia. Throughout the film, the director shows us the tragedy and passion of her love, the discoveries of the past years (the action takes place in the fifth century AD), and the stupidity and hatred of people and the church towards scientists. And no matter how exciting the plot is (and it will not leave anyone bored during the 126 minutes of the film), the finale is still tragic. More information on Agora can be found here.
Volver (2006)
Stars: Penélope Cruz, Carmen Maura, Lola Duenas
Director: Pedro Almodovar
This is one of the best works by Pedro Almodovar, which is interesting to watch and view from a female perspective.

She works almost all day, lives with a dysfunctional man, brings up a teenage daughter, takes care of her sister and also keeps a secret.
