Interesting Mini Series - The Name of the Rose review by CP Customer
Based on the novel of Umberto Eco, with an international cast of actors covering the period when the Pope was based in Avignon and the role of the inquisitor excellently played by Rupert Everett who is trying to thwart an investigation by a Franciscan Monk and his novice into a series of murders at an Alpine monastery. At times I did find my mind wandering, and felt that they were trying to cover so much of the book to the detriment of the finished product.
