The Name of the Rose (1986)

What do you get when you mix religion with Sherlock Holmes? You get Sean Connery and his assistant Christian Slater busting around a monastery solving murders in THE NAME OF THE ROSE!

INSERT LATIN PHRASE TO EXPRESS HOW INTELLIGENT WE ARE!

This film is a bit of a treat, honestly. There's a lot to like here, the most of which is a Sean Connery really hammering it out of the park with a riveting performance to remind us of how much range he had. Yeah, this also has some rich cinematography, some impressive set design, and some stellar makeup that transforms Ron Perlman into a hunchback. 

Yeah, we are congratulating this film a fair amount. But not of faith and religion (as we rip the idea apart for the better part of an hour). 

THE NAME OF THE ROSE (1986) is available to stream on Tubi, Peacock, Amazon Prime, Hoopla, Apple TV, and Pluto TV! It’s available to rent in the UK and Australia!
