The Name of the Rose

The Name of the Rose    [trailer]

An intellectually nonconformist friar investigates a series of mysterious deaths in an isolated abbey.

It's not subtle, good and evil are clearly marked. The location is a plus.

It's hard not to think of Sherlock Holmes when listening to wise-cracking Connery. I think at one point he even uses the word "elementary". It's entertaining, but it also feels a little out of place compared with the rest of the film.

Who stood out for me was Ron Perlman. He gave a surprising performance.

I liked the conclusion that it's important to be able to laugh at the powerful. You have to mock and ridicule them.
