About halfway through watching this documentary on The Name of the Rose (1986) - fascinating amount of detail!! The fact that it was made by a filmmaker and fan of the movie definitely shows. I love that he got to interview Ron Perlman and Jean-Jacques Annaud.

It’s pretty obvious why the church wants to stop William of Baskerville.
It’s because of his research into the Holy Grail. And that his son found the Arc Of The Covenant.
And also that he was about to defect to America in the Red October.
“There was something feminine; something diabolical about the one who died. He had the eyes of a girl, seeking intercourse with the devil”
(I feel like I need to read this book)
I know things seem messed up these days…
But if I’m being completely honest, things were more messed up in 12th century Europe.
It’s films like this that made me think all old castles in real life had secret buttons to unlock hidden doors and secret passageways.
This monastery seems pretty messed up, but the mountain vistas are awesome.
I know people are a fan of the original book, but Sean Connery is bringing his A game here.
I’m always a fan of a classic Sean Connery performance.
Oh yeah! This film gets +1 star already
