THE NAME OF THE ROSE.

Brother William of Baskerville and his young apprentice Adso are monks who arrive in a monastery, after they arrival a series of bloodthirsty murders take place and the friars were frightened.

Brother William has a penchant for sleuthing, so he probes into the mysterious deaths and discovers that each victim had laid his eyes upon a Greek manuscript hidden deep within the interior of the monastery. He gradually realizes that the killer must be targeting those who know of the book's existence, these books were written for Aristoteles and other writers of the ancient age; but just as he is about to solve the killings an inquisitor Bernardo Gui arrives and tries to discredit Brother William's theories, preferring to blame the crimes on non-existent heretics and Satanists.

The film is of mystery with sporadic narration, and in flashback by Slater's novice and maintains an atmosphere lacking in many films of its time.

I think that to this movie lacking it nothing since the plot, the scenery and the ambientation of the epoch are good on the other hand this film is not boring and manages to attract your attention during the film.
