Movie Reviews of The Name of the Rose
Movie Review: The Name of the Rose
Summary: 5 Stars
I own this movie on both VHS and DVD (Portugese audience, but with an English sound track). I've watched it several times and recommend the purchase of the DVD so you can do the same. Each time the film shows me something new, something deeper. To save space here, I will "ditto" the reviews above. Don't bother reading any film critics reviews of the film. I have and most them appear to have given the film a superficial viewing consequently missing the several threads running through it.
The Name of the Rose is more than a mystery book and film.
Movie Review: sublime
Summary: 5 Stars
The finest piece of literature (Umberto Eco's eponymous book) gave birth to one of the best thrillers ever directed.
Sean Connery's performance confirms why he is such an astounding actor. Christian Slater in, I believe, his first role shines here.
But most importantly, the cinematography and set are sublime (and trust me, I am not biased because I personally knew Tonino Delli Colli), it is truly sublime.
Movie Review: Genius
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a dark, forboding look into life in a corrupt Italian monastery, the spanish inquisition, and the catholic church in the middle ages. For those of you who like mysteries, spooky locals, superb plots, and fiendish villains, this movie is for you! It has remained one of my all time favorites throughout the years, and I'm both glad it is finally coming out on DVD, and furious it has taken so long to get there! Worth buying.Movie Review: Medieval Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
This is truly a great movie. Although it has been out for quite some time, it is still a great movie to see the daily lives of monks inside a monastary and the quest for knowledge/laughter.
Did anyone ever notice that the peasant girl in the movie seems to be very well kept up considering she was just a peasant? Just a little something people should look for. I mean did peasants really have straight white teeth.
Movie Review: Now I remember....
Summary: 5 Stars
Now I remember why I watched this movie 3 times when it was first released years ago. Of course, Sean Connery played his role as "Sherlock Holmes in a robe" superbly. And Ron Perlman was stupendous! This is a good story made into a good movie. My only grouse about the DVD is that it was edited at the ending..where the narrator says "I never knew the name of the rose"... But still, it is a good buy, this!
