If you loved Pirates, try The Ninth Gate
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Roman Polanski. If that's the register that drew you to Pirates, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Ninth Gate is
Paris winter. A damp copy of The Nine Gates lies open on a dealer’s table. A shadowy collector wants the last two copies of a demonic manual. When the dealer traces them, murders trail the book like fingerprints. Roman Polanski’s gothic paranoia twists bibliography into bloodshed.
