The Ninth Gate (1999): Roman Polanski, Johnny Depp, the Devil and Rare Antiquarian Books


     Co-written, produced and directed by Roman Polanski, based on "The Club Dumas" by Arturo Perez-Reverte, The Ninth Gate (1999) delves into dark territory. The story concerns the search for a rare antiquarian book that will summon the Devil. Eeriness, mystery and tense thrills permeate this well-crafted and entertaining film. Johnny Depp is amazing as the adventurous rare book dealer. Lena Olin and Emmanuelle Seigner are lovely and devilish in their roles. The rest of the cast does a fine job as well, including Frank Langella and James Russo.
