#CAT WALKS ON OLD MANUSCRIPT MOVIE#
The Ninth Gate is the kind of movie that you would wanna watch again.and then discuss it with fellow-viewers.then watch it again. Do you think that it’s just your modern cat that walks all over everything Think again. My viewpoint is that there may be untied ends and unanswered questions.but it is nothing that can't be figured out. They are probably the kind who like everything packaged in a neat order with ends all tied up, and are averse to enigma and ambiguity. Never mind, that some so-called critics have lambasted it for some unanswered questions and ambiguities in the story. Suffice to say, it's a very well made film and a fascinating experience. There is not a single weak moment the proceedings glide by smoothly, and are more than intriguing. As for the poor reviews this film generally got, I must say I am stumped. Polanski herself, Emmanuelle Seigner in a very interesting role. All four are on display at the British Library as part of its Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms: Art, Word, War exhibition. An interesting plot (based on "El Club Dumas", by Arturo Pérez-Reverte), Darius Khondji's brilliant cinematography, Wojciech Kilar's killer background score, Polanski's masterful direction and the overall atmospheric nature of the movie make up for a great watch! Not to mention some great acting from Johnny Depp (always dependable) and Frank Langella. Polanski has incorporated all the elements that make for a great movie. One should watch the movie to experience it completely. To reveal anything more would be a crime.

Corso takes up the job and then begin his investigations and a very mysterious odyssey full of twists and turns. There are only three surviving copies and Balkan is convinced that only one is authentic and the others, forgeries. He is hired by a wealthy book collector by the name of Boris Balkan (Frank Langella) to authenticate a rare and very special book in his possession, "The Nine Gates of the Kingdom of the Shadows". The story revolves around a man called Dean Corso (Johnny Depp), who happens to be a dealer in rare books. That is, of course, a classic, but that does not render The Ninth Gate any lesser in terms of quality. Filipovic was studying ancient texts at the state archives in Dubrovnik, Croatia, he found something amazing: Cat pawprints gracing. There is no sense comparing it to Polanski's earlier classic based on the supernatural, Rosemary's Baby. am I glad I did! This is one of Polanski's finest films. This, along with some comment I read somewhere that it is similar to Angel Heart, heightened my curiosity and finally saw it! And boy. However, it was after all, a supernatural thriller by Roman Polanski and that was reason enough for me to see it. "The Ninth Gate" is rated so low, even by the critics (and several movie buffs), I really did not have much expectations from this movie. Some of the critics ratings and user ratings really surprise and shock me at times.
