The finest piece of literature (Umberto Eco’s eponymous book) gave birth to one of the best thrillers ever directed.
Sean Connery’s performance confirms why he is such an astounding actor. Christian Slater in, I believe, his first role shines here.
But most importantly, the cinematography and set are sublime (and trust me, I am not biased because I personally knew Tonino Delli Colli), it is truly sublime.
