Roman Polanski's unique "insecurity" and hesitation of human nature once again became the main theme of the story. The horror and horror theme of the film should be Polanski's best, coupled with the unique temperament of Johnny Depp starring, the film is of course exciting, but I am afraid Polanski will let you down this time. If the film showed the director's ability to create atmosphere in the first 20 minutes, then the next hour or so was a bit like a pile of unintelligible horror elements. The deliberately arranged car chase and sex scenes are inevitably far-fetched, and the mysterious party scene also makes people feel that Polanski has lost the original expressiveness like in "Los Mary's Baby" . Another major failure of the film is the role of the mysterious girl. Her emptiness and paleness are probably unprecedented in all Polanski's movie roles.

Brother Qiang always plays some strange characters. This film plays an ancient book broker. The film involves a lot of black magic and religious content. It may be obscure to those who do not know this way. The plot can be briefly summarized as In the hell competition, the idea that people want to express is that people are often not afraid to sell their souls to the devil in order to satisfy their crazy desires. Whether it is worth it or not is another matter. I don't have a cold or a crush on Lucifer, I'm too lazy to write
The Ninth Gate quotes
-
Dean Corso: [indicating to the engravings] You killed for those! They're worth more than money.
Boris Balkan: Infinitely more. But they happen to be mine... not yours.

Boris Balkan: [performing the ceremony] Now you can watch! I'm entering uncharted territory. Taking the road that leads to equality, with God. You can't come with me... I must travel alone but you may look on, and marvel.
Dean Corso: That's very kind of you.
Boris Balkan: Indeed it is. There have been men who have been burned alive or disemboweled for just a glimpse of what you are about to witness.
