Surely you are looking for a good movie to enjoy this weekend that is about to begin. If you are a big fan of thrillers and suspense and are also a Netflix subscriber, we have exactly what you are looking for.
Don’t expect a modern, technology-laden story in the purest ‘Black Mirror’ style, what we have for you is a classic. One of those that never runs out, no matter how many times you see them.
Adapting the novel of the same name by Umberto Eco, published in 1980, ‘The name of the rose’ hit theaters, directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud, in 1986. And now, thanks to the wonders of the era of streamingyou can enjoy it without leaving your sofa.
In the iconic film, whose adapted script was developed by Andrew Birkin, Gérard Brach, Howard Franklin and Alain Godard, we see Sean Connery in the shoes of William of Baskerville, a 14th century friar who goes to a remote Benedictine abbey, located in northern Italy, to clarify the death of the young miniaturist: Adelmo of Otranto. Accompanied by his faithful disciple, Adso de Melk (Christian Slater), will undertake an investigation in the purest style Sherlock Holmeswhich will take you to the darkest and most corrupt depths of the abbey.
During his stay, other monks mysteriously disappear and later appear dead, which will hinder the development of his investigations.
In April 2020, Umberto Eco’s story returned in the form of a television series. Starring John Turturro, Rupert Everett, Damian Hardung and Michael Emerson and directed by Giacomo Battiato, the fiction was structured into a total of eight chapters each one hour long.
Sean Connery is also known for one of the most famous roles in the history of spy movies: James Bond. The actor was the first, from an exclusive list, to give life to agent 007. After his death, the rest of the interpreters who have played the British secret service spy said goodbye to Connery with emotional messages.
Over the years, EON Productions (the official production company of the saga) has released a total of 25 films. In addition to these, there have been three other films that have seen the character as the protagonist, but that do not have the “official status” of EON.
The last to bring 007 to life was Daniel Craig, in five films. At the moment, after Craig’s departure from the Bond “suit”, there is no news about the future of the franchise. Several names have been considered for the role. But none have been confirmed by Bárbara Broccoli, chief producer.
