The sleazy book dealer Corso (Depp) is hired by the obscure obsessive Balkan to find the only other two copies of his rare book in existence. The book is called 'The Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows', and Balkan wants to authenticate his copy of this 17th century occult work, said to have been written by the devil. And thus begins an almost 'Angel heart'ish (remember that one with Rourke and De Niro) escapade, filled with physical and supernatural catalysts and obstacles
Don't be put off - this is an under-rated gem!
I had to add my views after reading the other reviews - I found this film compulsive, compelling, original and even challenging. Yes, it does unfold slowly - most of Polanski's movies do - but the central story is arresting and intriguing. I do agree the ending kind of leaves things open, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I believe all the answers are there, you just need to decide for yourself.
Depp is good as ever, and Langella is perfect for his role. Please don't follow the herd, watch this and make up your own mind!
Oh dear.
Despite a charming performance from Johnny Depp and some low-key hamming from Frank Langhella, this is a stinker.
It takes a very long time to unravel a fairly uninteresting mystery, with some devil/angel stuff thrown in for good measure.
Even the engaging Depp seems to be floundering at times - he's peculiarly unconvincing in the (admittedly unnecessary) sex scenes. Mildly amusing in places, never scary. I can only imagine everyone concerned thought Roman Polanski had something better up his sleeve than the final product.

GOOD MOVIE!!! i like roman polanski and i would not say that this is his typical , obscure, phseudo sexual wannabe twisted stuff.
quite exciting and thank goodness not the scary horror/thiller sort of horror/thriller.
From the book 'The Club Dumas' which the movie barely resembles. Yes, I have a copy.
The movie is interesting, the story is interesting, the music is interesting. This is definitely a thinking persons film. No monsters jump out at you and no one explodes. J. Depp does an outstanding job as the unscrupulous book dealer who winds up solving the mystery of a book co-written by Lucifer.
If you like mysteries with a hint of witchcraft, this ones for you.
Well done
