This is from a movie right? I remember watching it but not the name.

Is is from a movie and a novel which the movie was based on. Both go by the title "The Name of the Rose". The author of the novel is Umberto Eco.

My favourite Bond film. Where he goes undercover as a 14th century Benedictine Monk.

The name of the rose

From the novel by Umberto Eco. With a French director, Sean Connery, Christian Slater, Ron Perlman and more. Great movie.

Yep great movie. Was filmed in 'Kloster Eberbach' germany, not far from where I live, always worth a visit.

> a French director

Who even has a name: Jean-Jacques Annaud.

The motif also shows up in the 1001 Nights

(I was waiting for this comment :)

don't remind me of all the great works buried deep in the in the cheek of history
