If you loved The Ninth Gate, try The Ghost Writer

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, and they both carry the neon soaked, paranoid, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Mystery / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Ninth Gate, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Ghost Writer is

A remote island, winter, a typewriter sounds. A writer steps in for a drowned assistant, a former British Prime Minister's memoirs wait. Polanski turns a page on politics and power.
