Stockholm Film Festival

Johnny Depp plays, in Polanski's thriller, a rare book sleuth, specialist in his line of work. He is hired to find the last two existing copies of the seventeenth-century Book of the Nine Doors to the Kingdom of Darkness. He accepts the assignment and it develops into sort of a labyrinth hunt that leads from New York to Toledo, to Paris and around the whole world. He is exposed to danger and temptations, it's almost like an unknown fury is pursuing him. But at the same time he seems to have an angelical being that protects him and leads him in the right direction. One by one he solves the riddles that are in the book and finally realises the real meaning of his mission. The Ninth Gate is based on Arturo Perez-Reverte's novel Club Dumas.
