Review of The Name of the Rose (1986) by Robert Barr for The Associated Press — 06 Jul 1995
If the style of the film matches the story, that doesn't make it any easier to look at -- it's just too bleak, and in the end, you'd rather see "Ivanhoe." Annaud never finds the right rhythm for the movie, and it's sluggishly paced, even as palimpsests go.
