Summary: The film shows Connery's richest & diverse acting talents !
Review: From the opening scenes you are mesmerized at the story and characters throughout this movie. The setting takes place in an old Italian Monastery where several Monks have died in mysterious ways and Connery, as a fellow Monk of the Order, is called in to investigate what is behind it. I was especially enlightened to this movie when on a trip to Europe I took a Rhine River Cruise and had actually visited the German Monastery where the movie was shot. The props created for the altar scenes are still there for visitors to see. As this movie unfolds the plot thickens testing your wits as to what is really going on in this remote monestary, heightened by the intervention of the Grand Inquisitor because the movie takes place during the period of the Inquisition in Europe. The acting is superb because the casting was excellent. The movie has enough historical fact and content that the viewer will learn something about medieval history as well as being entertained. If you are a Connery fan you will enjoy this movie for its content and story line. As with any GOOD actor you know Connery will not become involved in a bad script, you will not be disappointed with this Monk that he portrays. See it, rent it, buy it for your home library, you will watch it over - and - over again !!!

Summary: connery only gets better as he gets older.
Review: Taped this late one night, only because Sean Connery was in it. So glad I did!! I have worn out my copy over the years, and just wish it would be released. I would be first in line.

Summary: Simply Splendidly Elegant!
Review: I have read and reread the book a hundred times. The video, although it's portrayal is acurate, one cannot grasp the pure history behind the story as a whole. I love Connery and Slater does an awesome job! I highly recommend this movie. But I recommend the book more. Plus the Latin is strewn throughout the whole thing, movie and book. That is the most interesting part. BUY IT ALL!

Summary: Excellent Connery work, fun, suspense filled
Review: Definetly one of Connery's better films. Though the film was never well-known, it has a solid following with Connery's fans. I liked the way the film portrayed the monks as obsessed with stamping out fun and laughter - as if it was the root of all evil. The historical aspects of the film might help the unenlightened get a grasp on the ideas behind the Spanish Inquisition.

Summary: Sean Connery at his best
Review: The Name of the Rose is a 'classic' whodunnit. Set in a monestry somewhere around the 14th century and the Monks are dying! These Monks are an order that specialise in manuscript work. They copy/create beautiful illuminated manuscripts. Sean Connery is called upon to solve the mystery. The movie includes vivid insights into life back then and has you guessing til the last minute. Well worth a look!
