05.04: Dan Brown, Ron Howard, and THE DA VINCI CODE (2003; 2006)

A dead man in a famous museumA series of cryptic cluesA mystery leading to the greatest secret in history(Well, until the next one)These are the elements that make up Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code, a chunky little thriller following Harvard professor Robert Langdon across a danger-filled Paris. It’s a potboiler, a fantasy, and a Grail-quest. It’s a tissue of pseudo-history and lies. It’s adream that could only have been evoked in the early-Twenty-First Century. It’s also the topic of this month’s episode of TheProjectionist’s Lending Library. With special guest Stephanie ParkerMusic: Marie Magdeleine
