The Name of the Rose, based on the novel by Umberto Eco, is a dark historical drama set during The Inquisition. Full of suspenseful atmosphere and medieval hardship, this moody film brings to life the brutality of the time. The feel, cinematography, dialogue, and soundtrack all provide the audience a unique view of the Middle Ages. A murder has happened among the monks, and William of Baskerville called on to solve the mystery. William and his young novice make an excellent investigative team for this world of the Inquisition and it's suppression of knowledge.
This rather quiet, quirky little film features the talents of Sean Connery as William, a very young Christian Slater as the novice, and F. Murray Abraham as Bernardo Gui. Additionally, there are a number of recognizable character actors in the supporting cast. The murder mystery whodunit plot develops at a slow, leisurely pace, continually building the intrigue through to the end.
Overall, The Name of the Rose is absorbing film which I found surprisingly interesting. I recommend it for fans of Sean Connery, Medieval history, murder mysteries, or period drama. It is just the thing for a quiet yet unusual evening at home.

A delightful presentation of mystery and murder set in the very real cesspool that was the time of the Inquisition. Connery and F. Murray Abraham *are* their respective parts.

In my opinion, this was a great adaptation of Eco's masterpiece. I am one of those quirky Eco fans out there, that loved the ending of this film much better than the ending of the book. The atmosphere, the photography, the brilliant dialogue of the characters, and the beautifully constructed soundtrack by James Horner made this a very surreal view of the Middle Ages, like no other film has ever been able to demonstrate to me. Sean Connery is brilliant in his role as William of Baskerville and Christian Slater, as his young novice, form a picture perfect duo in a world of the Inquisition and it's suppresion of knowledge. This film is a must for anyone that is interested in the Middle Ages. The dialogue has several lines that will leave you pondering on them long after you have seen the film. Great movie, one of the overlooked gems of the time.
