1986 Directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud
14th-century Franciscan monk William of Baskerville and his young novice arrive at a conference to find that several monks have been murdered under mysterious circumstances. To solve the crimes, William must rise up against the Church's authority and fight the shadowy conspiracy of monastery monks using only his intelligence – which is considerable.

I stand corrected: the film adaptation of one of the greatest fictions ever written is fairly decent.
After quite a long time I have felt like seeing this again, in honour of Umberto Eco's passing. Now, as the novel has been virtually my #1 favorite book for many years, and I've recommended it to anyone willing to listen to my inevitable enthusiastic ramblings about it, from casual acquaintances to college friends, at the same time I've also compared the limited quality regarding this movie to the perfection found in the literary work. I'm prone to these comparisons, and even though I know they are naturally subjective --as both media are objectively different from each another--, I know this one about…

Im Jahre des Herren 2022 tue ich Busse im jährenden missachten der auf Zelluloid niedergebrannten Zeilen im sie umspannenden Gebilde einer Welt der Tristesse von Traufen niederfallenden geschwängerten Tropfen, der das Fundament zu ihren Füßen brodelnd von innen nach außen kehrenden Urgewalten der Sünde des 14. Jahrhunderts im Deckmantel des Zölibats. Nicht minder die Verruchtheit in der Kutte der Stigmata zur sich sehnenden Heiligsprechung aufgeplatzten Rückgrads und versengenden Augen sich offenbarenden Schriften.

I recently finished reading Umberto Eco's novel, which I loved and really struggled to put down. This adaptation didn't have the same effect on me but its a solid and enjoyable effort nonetheless
I'm stumped by this bizarre detective story set in an Italian monastery in the year 1327. The acting, the casting, the pacing, it's all way off, and yet it never dips below enjoyable. From the very first few moments you know you're in for good time, and that does indeed turn out to be the case. That sex scene, however, has left me a little scarred.
Vor nur wenigen Tagen ist leider Sean Connery verstorben und neben seiner ikonischen Rolle des britischen Geheimagenten James Bond, war er mir besonders für seine Rolle in THE NAME OF THE ROSE im Gedächtnis.
Wir schreiben das Jahr 1327 und befinden uns in einer Benediktiner Abtei in Norditalien. Der Franziskaner Mönch William von Baskerville ist zusammen mit seinem Schüler Adson angereist um in einem Glaubensstreit zu vermitteln. Doch bis die anderen Glaubensbrüder eintreffen kann William sich nicht zurückhalten im Fall eines kürzlich verstorbenen Benediktiner Mönch zu ermitteln und unangenehme Fragen zu stellen. Ungeahnt bringt er damit eine Lawine ins Rollen die ihm fast das Leben kosten soll.
Was für ein großartiger Film. Ich liebe die Stimmung die dieses Werk direkt…
Watched for school.
Really don't know how this has such a high average score here. I made a five paragraph review for it, but (as far as I know) none of you are my literature teacher, so none of you actually care. Here's the short version:
The Name of the Rose has some pretty relevant themes, but the filmmaking-wise, absolutely nothing special. I was intrigued by the story (it's a classic murder mystery), but the whole movie is set in one location, and it is pretty uneventful, so it was a really tedious experience. Seeing as it is a book adaptation, and the only thing I liked is the story, all credits goes directly to the book. This adaptation brings nothing to the table, therefore losing even more points at being that. It's simply a boring retelling. Interesting plot, very dull execution. Exactly the type of film your teacher would make the class watch.
Extremely appropriate that the book this is based on is much better than the movie.
Sean Connery trying to save books in the middle of a rapidly raging inferno...I feel you mate, I feel you.
Based on the bestselling novel by Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose was one of those big buzz, highbrow films of the 1980s (I remember it getting a BBC1 premiere on Boxing Day 1989) that helped lift Connery out of his career slump, setting him on course for his Oscar win just two years later for his supporting role in The Untouchables. With James Bond still being his most prominent role at this point, Connery initially appears an unusual choice for a character whom Eco blatantly based on Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes (the clue is in the Franciscan monk's…
More like who, in the name of god, decided it was okay to adapt Umberto Eco's masterpiece into this absolute joke of a film?
P.S. Maybe watching this right after finishing the book was not a great idea, but I've tried my best to look at it objectively... And it still sucked shit
Lange hat es gedauert, bis ich diesen Film irgendwo ergattern konnte, doch nun hab ich ihn endlich in die Hände bekommen und kann sagen, das Warten hat sich gelohnt!
Wow, was für ein Film! Nun verstehe ich, wieso dieser Film oftmals als einer der besten von Sean Connery bezeichnet wird denn "Der Name der Rose" überzeugt eben nicht nur mit seinem legendären Hauptdarsteller.
Zugegeben, ich kenne den Roman nicht und kann daher nicht bewerten, wie gut oder schlecht man diesen hier umsetzte.
Doch die hier erzählte Geschichte an sich konnte mich von der ersten Minute und der wundervollen Einführung an komplett fesseln und mit ihren Bildern, ihrem Score und ihrer spannenden, rätselhaften Erzählung in ihren Bann ziehen.
Langsam entspinnt sich…
