We just saw the Spanish posters for the movie Agora (always late, as usual!) and they are gorgeous! Also, the soundtrack is simply beautiful which is not a surprise since it’s composed by Dario Marianelli. Until now it seems the release it’s only schedule for Spain (9th October) and for Israel (26 November)… We truly hope this will be released very soon all over the world.

As we previously said, we are really curious about Alejandro Amenábar’s new movie – Agora. We talked about it a few months ago and now we just wanted to share a few more scenes.

El Rey Pasmado (The Dumbfounded King)

el-rey-pasmado-01

Spain, 17th century. While leaving the bed of the well known courtesan Marfisa, the young King Phillip IV (Gabino Diego) contemplates her body. It’s the first time he sees a naked woman. Completely dumbfounded, he then decides he must see also his queen in the same lack of attiring. Of course, this provokes immediate controversy and scandal among the Court, the people and most especially members of the Inquisition. But the King is determined and he will do what it takes to get his queen naked.

Adapted from Gonzalo Torrente Ballester novel – Las Crónicas Del Rey Pasmado (highly recommended!), the movie is light but with a very appealing story about intolerance and prejudice. The great sense of humor and the witty dialogues are what make this movie so special along with the beautiful wardrobe and the superb settings, who work as perfect eye candy.
