THE
NINTH
GATE
With
Johnny
Depp,
Lena
Olin,
Frank
Langella,
Emmanuelle
Seigner,
James
Russo
Directed
by
Roman
Polanski
With
a
couple
of
decades
lapsing
since
Polanski
made
the
controversial
Rosemary’s
Baby,
he
once
again
investigates
the
dark
arts
and
the
devil.
Depp
plays
a
rare
book
dealer
who
is
approached
by
an
occult
expert
who
wants
him
to
authenticate
a
legendary
book
on
the
subject.
There
are
only
three
known
in
existence,
and
the
man
wants
to
know
whether
his
copy
is
the
original
–
no
price
is
too
high.
Our
unscrupulous
dealer
travels
to
Europe
but
soon
discovers
he
may
have
bit
off
more
than
he
could
chew
as
he
is
followed
and
people
start
turning
up
dead.
Depp
does
a
good
job
(as
he
usually
does)
while
both
Olin
and
Seigner
are
sensuous
without
really
having
to
try.
A
deliciously
evil
mystery.
