The Name of the Rose (Amazon Prime and free on Tubi) is a 1986 award-winning historical mystery film based on the 1980 novel of the same name by Umberto Eco. It stars Sean Connery and Christian Slater. F. Murray Abraham, Michael Lonsdale, and Ron Perlman are also in this. The book is good, and the film does it justice.

ReplyDeleteI remember seeing this long ago and it was pretty good as I recall. I watched it because of Sean Connery and Christian Slater. Dark and mysterious. :)

ReplyDeleteI thought so, too :)
DeleteI've never seen this film but I did try to read the book once. It was tough to get through. Perhaps it's time to try it again. Happy rest of your weekend Nita.
