The Name of the Rose
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. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →Since Adso in the book states that the events at the abbey take place "at the end of November" and "toward the end of the year of our Lord 1327", and occur over seven days, I'm wondering if we can consider The Name of the Rose (1986) a Christmas movie
unlabelledView post →Hey @normative.bsky.social! Your mentioning The Name of the Rose inspired me to pick it up and THANK YOU (I haven’t seen the movie so had no preconceptions going in)
unlabelledView post →Amazon Prime are cutting scenes from films they stream; another reason to get your hands on Second Sight's lush 4K UHD version of The Name of the Rose. Umberto Eco's whodunnit gets a literate treatment here; it's all about censorship... Out Aug 10, 2026. 5 out of 5 film-authority.com/2026/07/31/t...

unlabelledView post →Every so often, I come upon a discussion about books & market appeal & why one book was a massive success &/or another one wasn't. In these moments, I remember The Name of the Rose was a massive international bestseller that got made into a movie. No one knows anything, and nothing makes sense.

unlabelledView post →Anybody got any good Tubi movie recommends? My recommend is The Name of the Rose. Sean Connery in a monastic noir, with Tom Waits as a hunchback and a young Christian Slater. Lighting, sets and atmosphere was incredible. A movie!
unlabelledView post →After finishing The Name of the Rose (I am halfway there! Slow but savory progress) I would like to watch the movie with Sean Connery. The trailer looks so classic and iconic, and I wonder if Connery can do justice to William.
unlabelledView post →A big movie week, because I'm going to see in theater Akira, Resident Evil, Les Tontons flingueurs (an old French comedy classic), and The Name of the Rose. 😍 Tickets are half price 🤗
unlabelledView post →Claiming to be the highest hillfort in Italy and even at a push Europe, standing at 1,500m the fortress of Rocca Calascio has incredible views over Abruzzo. The Castle was also a location in the film The Name of the Rose. Maybe slightly bending the criteria for #HillfortsWednesday ?
unlabelledView post →I'm still reading "The Name of the Rose". It's a big book chock-full of philosophy and religious conjecture, and quite distinct from the movie. But it's incredibly well written and absorbing, at least for me. But a quick read it is not.
unlabelledView post →*turns sadly from staring into my mug as your story wraps up* Alas, my friend, mine is a sadder tale. I once was a happily partnered man, but then I fell for the siren call of “recommending ‘The Name of the Rose’ for movie night”, and I have been to the wind ever since. Heed me!
unlabelledView post →There is one possible exception. The Name of the Rose is a *great* book, and I've not seen the film version but I'm told it's actually a very good film.
unlabelledView post →This is so much more than a murder mystery! It’s multilayered - religion, philosophy, psychology and much more. It’s an incredible work. Get a copy of ‘The Key to the Name of The Rose’ for reference as you read the book. The movie, which is very enjoyable, only really addresses the murder mystery.
unlabelledView post →The Name Of The Rose is on the RTÉ Player. A really excellent film if you haven't seen it.
unlabelledView post →Listening to @greenleejw.bsky.social, @lollardfish.bsky.social, and @profgabriele.com talk about THE NAME OF THE ROSE for tomorrow's Historians at the Movies episode and it's *exactly* what you want from something like this. Smart people illuminating the movie in a way you'd never get otherwise.

unlabelledView post →Watched The Name of the Rose (1986) for the first time, though I read the book forever ago. I remembered the plot pretty well, which was good, because the film was a bit confusing by itself. Connery was wonderful in the lead, and the sets were just perfect, but the script was kind of hard to follow.
unlabelledView post →If Eco's novel The Name of the Rose is a glass of good red wine then the movie version of the book is a glass of grape juice. I mean, I don't hate it and it's not awful (maybe), but whenever I try to watch it I remember that I don't like grape juice.

unlabelledView post →January 1987 my mate and I tried to get in and see the 'Name of the Rose' at the ABC cinema, but they wouldn't let us in so we had to watch Heartbreak Ridge. The US loves to invade South American countries, this is nothing new, international law or not. Terrible film, even worse than Firefox.
unlabelledView post →I was just randomly thinking how good a movie The Name of the Rose is, for no associative reason I can detect. Anyway it's a good movie.
unlabelledView post →@jesawyer.bsky.social Because you kept mentioning The Name of the Rose I have decided to watch it. I didn't know it was going to be Pentiment: The Movie. This shit is going straight into my veins

unlabelledView post →Well... The inciting incident towards the creation of Rosewood Abbey is directly tied to The Name of the Rose. I recorded in 2021 and released in 2022 an episode of The RPG Academy Film Studies about Jean-Jacque Annaud's movie adaptation. rolistespod.com/2022/10/16/f... 5/x
unlabelledView post →Watching The Name of the Rose and it's even better than I remember. I fucking love it when movies do that. Also Sean Connery in this movie is a gift from the gods and we should all be grateful.
unlabelledView post →Me, clapping my hands and shouting at my medievalist housemate: WE NEED TO WATCH IN THE NAME OF THE ROSE! I'M NOW OLD ENOUGH TO WATCH THAT SEX SCENE! (I did not feel old enough to watch it until way after I watched it. For reasons, I saw it the movie with a bunch of kids 4 years older than me.)

unlabelledView post →A Room with a View is also right up there. And, frankly, I liked The Name of the Rose better on film too.

unlabelledView post →I've been watching The Name of the Rose lately & it's difficult to find any good posters of that film, the Russian poster for the film however designed by Oleg Vassiliev just goes hard in capturing the theme of the film far better than the other posters.
unlabelledView post →Closter Eberbach has a link with where I live now in Italy. In the movie “The Name of the Rose” Sean Connery runs through a door in Eberbach to chase a killer. He emerges in Rocca Calascio a mountain fortress near my home. The guide at Eberbach points out that Connery ran into… a broom cupboard.
unlabelledView post →The Name of the Rose is another great but underrated film. Two monks(Sean Connery and and a young Christian Slater) are sent to investigate a series of murders that have happened at an Italian abbey in the dark ages, what they uncover will rock the church to its core.
unlabelledView post →The idea to bring The Name of the Rose and #BrindlewoodBay together actually came from the recording of this episode of The RPG Academy Film Studies dedicated to movie. I loved recording that show. I always have different guests with who we review movies trough the #TTRPG lens.
unlabelledView post →I've not chimed in on the "Remake a movie from 1986" prompt because when I look at the list all I see are movies I would re-release to theaters now as they are: Absolute Beginners. Labyrinth. Big Trouble in Little China. The Great Mouse Detective. The Name of the Rose. No notes, no changes.
