For labyrinth-lovers...a thoughtful and entertaining murder mystery predicated on intellectual debate. [Blu-ray]
It's really a decent exploitation film disguised as a proper art film.
A great mystery until the end. Connery and Abraham throw sparks each time they meet.
the window dressing is not enough to buoy the principle acting
A spiritual thriller that holds up thanks to its rich themes and great acting
How you accept an English monk with a Scottish accent and the mind of a Sherlock Holmes is the question.
A well-played medieval murder mystery, featuring a lot of good-looking men with really bad haircuts.
Marvelous adaptation of a complex Umberto Eco novel. Christian Slater's first feature role.
This real monastery looks as if it were designed by the artist M. C. Escher.
