NAME OF THE ROSE (1986). Although not wholly successful, this "Sherlock Holmes in the Monastery" has great atmosphere and amazing sets as Sean Connery and a very young Christian Slater investigate the mysterious series of Monk deaths and the numerous obstacles involved in doing so. The monks in here are truly grotesque, with the great Ron Perelman standing out as a demented hunchback. Things get more involved with the arrival of the Inquisition ...F Murray Abraham is completely loathsome in his cruelty.
Film truly shows the squalor and desperation involved in just staying alive in the 14th century, especially by "The Girl" (Valentina Vargas, who looks a lot like Jennifer Connelly). Her pivotal scene with Slater is extremely explicit , bordering on XXX territory.. amazing it wasn't cut or trimmed. ***
