Synopsis
The Ninth Gate (1999) is a mystery-horror thriller directed by Roman Polanski — watch online on iFILM. A French-Spanish co-production from Canal+ and TF1, running 133 minutes. Dean Corso (Johnny Depp) is a cynical New York rare-book dealer hired by wealthy obsessive Boris Balkan (Frank Langella) to track down the other two surviving copies of a 17th-century text called The Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows and determine which of the three is authentic.
Corso travels through Lisbon, Paris, and Toledo. The owners of each copy receive him with varying degrees of hostility. By the time the first one turns up dead, Corso understands this is no longer just an appraisal job. Liana Telfer (Lena Olin) wants the same book for reasons she won't explain. A mysterious young woman (Emmanuelle Seigner) shadows Corso through every city, appearing at precisely the wrong moments.
Polanski adapted the screenplay from Arturo Pérez-Reverte's novel The Dumas Club, keeping the ending deliberately ambiguous. Stream The Ninth Gate (1999) full movie online on iFILM.
