Italy in the Middle Ages was in the shadow of Catholic feudal forces opposing rule. The British Franciscan monk William and his young apprentice Adso came to the Benedictine monastery in the mountains of northern Italy. Participate in great debates about religion and poverty, kingship and will. During the seven days in the monastery , they heard and witnessed the mysterious deaths of monks such as Adelmo, a Greek translator and Fernanヒューズ, all of which were related to a strange book in the writing room. In the process of tracing, Adesso had an affection with a young girl who came to the monastery to exchange sex for food. In an octagonal labyrinth-like library , they discovered the secret of this murder case: the old dean, Yo Jie, painted a strange book with highly toxic drugs because he was afraid of this "weird" that promoted the truth. "Books" will affect people's belief in Catholic teachings. He saw the conspiracy revealed, tore up the strange book, and set the library on fire. William risked his life to rescue a group of precious wealth of human civilization. On the way back to China, Adesso saw the girl he admired, but he cut off his tenderness and followed his mentor.

Another story about truth, goodness and beauty. The pace is slightly slower, but the suspenseful and thrilling atmosphere is well rendered, and it looks very tense. The young apprentice's expression was monotonous and exaggerated, and his acting was not very good. The evil judge has been recognized by me again, isn't it the big villain Mozartrie! This person is really good at playing the villain, and it has completely achieved the effect of being annoying to look at. What makes me most curious is why a film with all the dialogue in English is classified as a German film?

The extra star was given to Sean Connery, and the father's perfect performance pushed the whole film up a notch abruptly. The narrative, suspense laying, reasoning and deduction are all unsuccessful, and the focus shift to accommodate the limitations of the image results in a significant thinness of the overall branch. The only thing that can be praised is atmosphere creation. The lens, the use of light, and the beautiful fingers complete a "dark, claustrophobic, dirty, cruel, bloody, mysterious, ascetic but licentious Middle Ages"

Remigio da Varagine: In the twelve years I have lived here, I have done nothing but stuff my belly, shag my wick, and squeeze the hungry peasants for tithes!

[first lines]
Voice of Adso as an Old Man: Having reached the end of my poor sinner's life, my hair now white, I prepare to leave on this parchment my testimony as to the wondrous and terrible events that I witnessed in my youth, towards the end of the year of our Lord 1327. May God grant me the wisdom and grace to be the faithful chronicler of the happenings that took place in a remote abbey in the dark north of Italy. An abbey whose name it seems, even now, pious and prudent to omit.
