Trivia

The close-up shots of the exterior of Rosslyn Chapel are genuine, but the two distant shots of the chapel aren't actually of Rosslyn Chapel. This is because the chapel was swathed in scaffolding when filming took place. The first (overhead) shot looks like a different location entirely, with a chapel that resembles Rosslyn. The second shot, looking up a wooded hillside to the chapel, is indeed a shot of Roslin Glen with the chapel in the right location, but with the other chapel pasted in. The penultimate scene at the ruined castle is indeed filmed at Roslin Castle, a partial-ruin that's a couple of hundred yards from the chapel. It's privately owned, but visitors can easily view the exterior and the bridge which were shown in the film. The chapel is noted for its many internal carvings, including what appears to be a depiction of American maize - but the chapel was completed before 1492. See more »

Goofs

When Fache visits Andre Vernet in the hospital, he calls him Vernet Andre at the beginning of his interrogation - putting his last name first. Then he doesn't speak his name again. The English subtitles has Fache start into his interrogation using Andre Vernet's name (used correctly this time) later on in the discussion - not at the beginning. See more »

An entertaining, yet not spectacular movie about the book that made the World talk.
17 May 2006 | by (Portugal) – See all my reviews

I just watched the film, and even though I liked it, I must confess, I too expected more. I can't precisely point out what was missing and what I was expecting, but some it has some details that weren't there, some small imprecisions, some little things could have been better.

Nevertheless, a pleasant movie to watch. I confess I need to see it again, since I saw it from 3 to 6 am, with very few hours of sleep on the night before. I suggest the ones who read the book to re-read it before they go see it - to add a little bit more perspective. To those who haven't, I wish you a lovely time at the movies - it really is pleasant to see.

Praise to Audrey Tautou, a beautiful splendid actress, and all the other actors that don't need any more praise, like Ian McKellen, Jean Reno and Tom Hanks, who I didn't see fit the part at first, but who grew on me half-way through the movie, if not sooner. A huge praise to Paul Bettany too, for his astonishing and disturbing performance as Silas.

I give it an 8, because it's one of the first movies made from books that did not make me go 'Oh, this was not like this in the book' every five seconds. I never saw Ron Howard as the ideal director for this movie - but he pulled it off decently, though a bolder choice would have been in order.
