The Name of the Rose (1986)
January 2016 - Sean Connery: Lights, Camera, Action!

Directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud
F. Murray Abraham, Christian Slater

Atmosphere abounds in this whodunit set in a medieval Benedictine monastery. Someone is murdering the monks, and it is up to a Franciscan friar to solve the mystery. Connery brings a muscular intelligence to the skeptical friar, William of Baskerville, and Christian Slater is engaging as his callow protégé. Can William catch the killer before the inquisition gets involved? And why are the victims found with black stains on their tongue and index finger?
