Talk:The Name of the Rose (film)

The monastery
Do you know where the film was set? Where's the monastery? iyigun 20:43, 28 May 2007 (UTC)


 * The inside recordings were made in the German monastery Kloster Eberbach in Hesse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by :93.192.43.11 (talk) 09:06, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

hello, cannot remember now. According to the DVD extra features it was filmed indoors at a monastery in Germany and outdoors in a built set outside Roma. I guess the outside set was part-built using real buildings.

 * The above have been posted 10 and 9 years ago. If you are still wondering, you can find information in the "Production" section of the article.

Holes in the Synopsis
Paragraph 4 of the plot synopsis suddenly references "the wild girl" without previously having introduced her. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.147.67.22 (talk) 18:55, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Major Differences section
Why did the major differences section get thrown out? The explanation given is that it's "useless." Anything more specific? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aardvarkleg (talk • contribs) 04:05, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Last line "Adson never knows or guesses the girls name - it is not connected with the name of the book - and he never sees her again after she is taken to Avignon." makes no sense and should be cut. Adso does not "know or guess" the girl's name in EITHER the book or the film, so the writer of that sentence is confused and the significance of the title is discussed at length in the novel's wiki entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.47.174.65 (talk) 20:59, 28 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I removed this section since it was unreferenced and not well-written. Per WP:FILMDIFF, we need to use reliable sources to highlight how a film was adapted from its source material. For example, this has a "How book and film compare" section. Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 21:05, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

If anyone wants to add it again, the major differences are that in the book Bernard Gui is not killed by peasants during the confusion of the Abbey fire, but instead leaves for Avignon with the three prisoners before the final conflict. Thus also the girl does not survive, but is presumed to be burnt at the stake. In addition, in the book the Abbot is murdered by Jorge after being trapped in a secret staircase in the labyrinth and suffocating to death, while in the film his fate is unknown.

Cast list
I have reordered the cast list slightly to make it agree with the IMDB credits order. I have also removed an entry for Mark Bellinghaus, who appears 51st in the cast list, well past the named roles. He was added to this article by who helpfully self-identifies here as  Mark Bellinghaus. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 22:26, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Berenger vs. Berengar
In the novel the character is "Berengar," while in the cast list for the movie he was listed as "Berenger." I am assuming that was a typo and have changed the spelling to be consistent with the novel. Durwoodie (talk) 10:00, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Adso versus Adson
The titles at the end of the English version of the movie show "Adson von Melk". This article uses "Adso von Melk". I'm not sure about the discrepancy.
