Review of The Ninth Gate

7/10
insider jokes
12 January 2000
I probably didn't get all of it, but a few things I understood, and I had to keep from laughing out loud. The more you know about bible (esp. Revelation and Apocalypse) and satanism, the more you'll understand. The ending, for one, is a really good turn if you understand what happened. If you don't know about the origins and meanings of the symbols contained in the drawings, too bad...

Since I'm not too religious/mystic/whatever, I caught a glimpse of the joke and spent the rest of the time watching a straight plot with moody pictures and good-looking actors. I really enjoyed the atmosphere; that's something this movie has for all of the audience.

Nice one, but I can't really judge. 7/10, and I'll re-vote as soon as I get someone competent to explain me the details.
