Watch The Ninth Gate Movie Online.
Movie Title: The Ninth Gate The Ninth Gate is available for streaming or downloading. |
When this film was released in 1999 it did not get the press it deserved and I never saw it until I it aired on HBO. After the first viewing, I was hooked on the film. I have always thought Depp was an excellent actor and he plays an almost likable but undoubtedly dark character than has clearly adopted the “me above all others” way of thinking. He is hired by Frank Langella who plays a very dark, Devil worshiping book collector with a hidden agenda, lyrically named Boris Balkan. Throughout the film, Depp is visited and aided by Emmanuelle Seigner (who to this day I have never seen in anything else in spite of a long European filmography)but one of the mysteries of the film is that you never know who this girl is. An agent of the Devil, the Devil itself or a dark angel? As usual, Lena Olin plays a forgettable character and is probably the weakest part of the film. Even though Langella’s portrayal of the evil book collector goes a little over the top toward the end, the film and the interactions between Depp and the other possessors of this rare book are not to be missed. I am looking forward to the blu-ray release.
No matter what you think about “The Ninth Gate” as a story, the film’s flaws are overshadowed by Darius Khondji’s remarkable photography; in fact, that was one of two reasons I bought it on DVD when it came out: the visuals AND the fetishistic detail to the books (typefaces, engravings, and the sound the pages made when they turned…mmmmm). So I rented the Blu-ray version of the film to see if it was worth buying.

DEAR. GOD. This may very well be the worst Blu-ray transfer I have EVER seen thus far. Even worse that the legendary Digital Noise-riddled “Terminator 2″ Blu-Ray. I barely got through my favorite 10 minutes of the film before I shut the whole thing off and took it back. The transfer is an UGLY washed out, aged-looking, and GRAINY-AS-ALL-GET-OUT P.O.S. and it’s the only digital-age disc I’ve actually felt CHEATED on (even early-era DVDs had sharper advantages over video…plus you knew better re-releases would follow when DVD technology picked up, but at this point in technology this is inexcusable).
I cannot recommend a Blu-ray title LESS than this one. For me, Blu-ray is about the VIDEO and AUDIO, not about the film itself. Even if I think a movie sucks, I’ll commend it if the Blu-ray transfer is good (I own “Transformers” for cryin’ out loud), because that’s what people want to know. But even at $9 this disc is a total rip-off and the studio should have known better than to release this to the public. I will wait for the re-issue…but not with bated breath.
