Gripping, atmospheric adaptation of Umberto Eco's classic novel set in the Middle Ages. In an Italian monastery where a council of Dominicans and Franciscans is assembling, a murder is committed. One of the Franciscan delegates, William of Baskerville, turns sleuth to unravel the sinister events. The era is potently evoked, and the labyrinthine interior of the monastery and the ominous presence of the Inquisition are truly chilling.
