Corso si dirige in Spagna e parla con i fratelli Ceniza, restauratori di libri ex-proprietari della copia di Telfer, che analizzando il libro insieme a Corso gli rivelano che la sua qualità è talmente alta che non ci sono dubbi sulla sua autenticità, solo un vero maestro avrebbe potuto, eventualmente, contraffarla. Balkan è in possesso di uno dei tre soli esemplari superstiti, ma è anche convinto che solo uno dei tre sia autentico. In Paris, Corso visits the Baroness Kessler, who owns the third copy. Balkan's invocation fails, and he screams in pain as the flames engulf him. Polanski cast Frank Langella as Boris Balkan based upon his performance as Clare Quilty in Lolita (1997). [15] Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film a grade D- on scale of A to F.[16], Roger Ebert said the ending was lackluster, "while at the end, I didn't yearn for spectacular special effects, I did wish for spectacular information — something awesome, not just a fade-to-white". Dans un premier temps, son ami libraire Flavio La Ponte lui demande de prouver l' authenticité du manuscrit du "Vin d'Anjou", le chapitre 42 des Trois Mousquetaires d'Alexandre Dumas, appartenant à l’éditeur Enrique Taillefer, qui vient d'être retrouvé suicidé. Quando Corso incontra la ragazza nell'albergo in Portogallo, lei sta leggendo il libro. He explains his idea: each copy contains a different set of three "LCF"-signed engravings, therefore all three copies are required to acquire the complete set of 9 images for the ritual. When Liana steals Balkan's copy from Corso's hotel room, Corso and the Girl follow her to her chateau, and witness her using the book in a Satanic ceremony with an audience of robed rich people present. Roman Polanski read the screenplay by Enrique Urbizu, an adaptation of the Spanish novel El Club Dumas (The Club Dumas, 1993), by Arturo Pérez-Reverte. Corso prosegue per Sintra, in Portogallo, ed incontra Victor Fargas, ultimo membro di una nobile famiglia decaduta, che possiede la seconda copia, la quale per l'appunto differisce leggermente proprio nelle incisioni firmate "LCF" da quella in possesso di Balkan. [6], In reading El Club Dumas, Polanski pictured Johnny Depp as "Dean Corso", who joined the production as early as 1997, when he met Polanski at the Cannes Film Festival, while promoting The Brave. Talk:Aristide Torchia. They deleted the novel's literary references and a sub-plot about Dean Corso's investigation of an original manuscript of a chapter of The Three Musketeers, and concentrated upon Corso's pursuing the authentic copy of The Nine Gates. He hires Corso to check all three and acquire the legitimate one by any means necessary. Corso torna al negozio di Toledo, dove però i due non ci sono più. [7] Initially, he did not think Depp right as "Corso", because the character was forty years old (Depp at the time was only 34). Corso escapes and later is assaulted by Liana's bodyguard. Torchia was born in 1620. He considered an older actor, but Depp persisted; he wanted to work with Roman Polanski. The premiere showing was at San Sebastián, Spain, on 25 August 1999, a month before the 47th San Sebastian International Film Festival. Anche qui trova differenze nelle incisioni e realizza che tutte e tre le copie sono originali e differiscono tra di loro di tre pagine, le pagine di Lucifero, che messe insieme formano le nove pagine originali necessarie per il rituale; tuttavia prima di poter andare via viene assalito alle spalle e perde i sensi. Promettendogli un lauto compenso, manda Corso in Europa presso i collezionisti in possesso delle altre due copie per scoprire e identificare la copia autentica che gli permetterebbe di evocare Satana in persona, dal momento che le xilografie in esso presenti sarebbero un riadattamento operato da Torchia a partire da quelle contenute nell'Horrido Delomelanichon, un libro leggendario mai trovato e ritenuto opera di Lucifero stesso. The book is written by one Aristide Torchia in Venice in 1666 and contains nine woodcut engravings rumoured to be copied from the apocryphal Delomelanicon, a book purportedly written by Lucifer himself. [26], After the release of The Ninth Gate, Artisan sued Polanski for taking more than $1 million from the budget, refunds of France's value-added tax that he did not give to the completion bond company guaranteeing Artisan Entertainment a completed film.
