    The film continued to work for a day before I finished watching it. I thought that I would become impatient with the film, but I didn’t expect it to get better in the end. It seems that the ignorant, bloody and greedy European Middle Ages really have a fatal attraction to...

    I don't think it's okay if you haven't read the...

    It's a good movie as a stand-alone story in fact I feel it has little to do with the original except for the murder plot, building layout and character...

    It's really a very nice film, with strong storytelling and reasoning. It's been eight or nine years since the disc was bought, so why didn't I watch it at the beginning?

    Semiotics, Medieval Church, Blood, Homosexuality, Insider, Darkness, a bunch of very weird arrangements of signifiers and...

    Magic. Galileo merged with Holmes (of Baskville). Try to dispel the medieval gloom with the light of reason, totally my cup of tea. The photography is excellent and the storytelling is...

    I haven't finished reading Eco's original book yet, and the movie feels underwhelming and scratchy, except for Old Connelly's acting skills and the dreary medieval parish...

The Name of the Rose quotes

  • William of Baskerville: [William and Adso witnessed a girl running away after payed service to a monk] He must have been a very ugly monk.

    Adso of Melk: Why ugly?

    William of Baskerville: If he'd been young and beautiful, she'd have blessed him with her carnal favors for nothing.

  • William of Baskerville: [as the two examine the body of Brother Berengar] He was left-handed?

    Severinus: Yes. Brother Berengar was inverted in many ways.
