Christian Slater Is One Lucky Monk

[jwplayer id="7182875"]

In "The Name of the Rose," Christian Slater plays a young monk. He's not supposed to have sex, but he finds himself powerfully drawn to Valentina Vargas, and—since she seems to like him too—they do it.

In the Umberto Eco novel, this scene is incredibly detailed, describing the monk's ecstasy as he loses himself in the unimaginable joy of another human body. What the movie version loses in Eco's language, it seems to make up with Vargas's breasts. Not a bad trade!
