- QuizAll of the engravings appearing in "The Nine Gates" were commissioned for the novel (and not the movie) by author Arturo Pérez-Reverte himself. The only exception is the one showing The Girl riding a dragon, which was altered to make it similar to the actress' face.
- BlooperIn the film, the book "The Nine Gates" displays an inverted pentagram on its cover to represent its Satanic content. However, the inverted pentagram only became associated with Satanism and evil in the late 19th century due largely to a work by the French occultist Eliphas Levi. As the books were said to be in their original 17th century Venetian bindings, the appearance of the inverted pentagram is an anachronism.
- Citazioni
Boris Balkan: There's nothing more reliable than a man whose loyalty can be bought for hard cash.
- Curiosità sui creditiThe opening credits are displayed as if they were hidden in a bookshelf, deeper and deeper into the nine gates of the title.
Recensione in evidenza
6.66 out of 10?
Right now, the average grade of this movie, here on IMDb is 6.6 A coincidence?
"Ninth Gate" is another, after cult classic 'Rosemary's Baby' (1968), example of critically acclaimed and controversial director's Roman Polanski... fascination with evil.
The story looks simple. A rare book dealer Dean Corso (Johny Depp) gets an assignment to compare - by first finding the missing ones - the three last copies of a medieval "Ninth Gate of the Kingdom of Shadows". Of course the hunt for the book, gets more and more complicated as strange things begin to happen and Corso gets himself involved in something beyond imagination...
"Ninth Gate" brings out of memory the "Devil's Advocate" with Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino but in many ways it's totally different. First - Roman Polanski proves he is such acclaimed director for a reason. In every scene, you feel his existence, you feel that almost every scene has its powerful significance. Part of that is great, cold and suspenseful Cinematography. Great Score by Wojciech Kilar adds to the climate of the movie.
Johny Depp is great as always, and in the seconds plan actors you won't find a bad one. The screenplay is witty, there is unexpected humour in a lot of situations which makes it an easy, fun watch until... the ending. The ending turns the movie into a dark thriller leaving lot of things open, unsaid. We can almost FEEL the evil, in the end.
7/10
