Sean Connery Speaks Breton!
The news was announced by Brezhoweb TV on their X account, along with a clip featuring Sean Connery and Christian Slater.
“For the holiday season, the Breton-language online TV channel Brezhoweb is offering ‘The Name of the Rose’ (Anv ar Rozenn in Breton) for free in its Breton-dubbed version with subtitles in either Breton or French, at the viewer’s choice,” the channel stated in a press release.
“After being restored and remastered in 4K for over six months under the supervision of director Jean-Jacques Annaud, the remastered version of the film premiered in theaters in February 2024, attracting over 47,000 viewers. It was then dubbed into Breton in Quimper for its broadcast on the Breton-language online TV channel Brezhoweb. The actor Jil Pennec lent his voice to the famous actor,” highlighted by Brezhoweb.
It’s worth noting that Brezhoweb, a web TV channel entirely in Breton, was established in 2006. Licensed by ARCOM, it exclusively broadcasts programs in the Breton language for all audiences: movies and series, cartoons, documentaries, entertainment shows, news magazines, game shows, music programs, and more.
Sean Connery Leads the Investigation
As a reminder, “The Name of the Rose” transports us to the year 1327, to a Benedictine abbey where monks are mysteriously disappearing. Franciscan monk William of Baskerville, assisted by the young novice Adso von Melk, is on the case. This is a time when the Church is in crisis, battling over its spiritual and temporal power and facing the height of the Inquisition.
The investigation by the duo faces hurdles as more mysterious deaths plague the community. Gradually, William becomes convinced that the key to the mystery lies within the heavily regulated library.
