My take on The Ninth Gate



I brought this DVD because of director “Roman Polanski”
This is about a sleazy, corrupt book dealer Corso (Depp) is hired to authenticate a rare book “The Nine Gate” by his professor, business partner, rare book collector Balkan.
According to Balkan there are only three copies available & he needs to figure out the correct one. As Corso start reading the book, he will experience different things. A super natural girl always follows and helps him. As he starts the mission, he losts his best friend, but he continues with his mission & story revolves around finding the fine differences. In between, whenever he faces trouble, girl saves/helps his most of the time. Ending was interesting as Balkan dies and Corso enter in to ninth gate.
This movie needs more viewings. I need to watch Bonus features to get director thoughts.
More of physiological thriller. You will see nice cast & superb music & very interesting cinematography.
Very interesting quote from the movie is

“There’s no one more reliable than a man whose loyalty can be bought for hard cash.”
