The Ninth Gate (Die neunte Pforte) - Blu-ray Forum

Reduman · 05-11-2009, 12:56 PM

Does anyone know if Polanski's movie "The Ninth Gate" is scheduled for release on Blu-ray anywhere in the world in the coming months? Any information would be gratefully received! Kinowelt issued a great German release in 2007 ....

Thanks for the tip. I have seen that a US Version will appear on August 11th - so that's my pre-order set ...

The german title of this movie is "Die neun Pforten" so the thread title should be changed.

Even though it doesn't street till 8/11/09, DVD Pacific shipped - by accident

- my copy on 7/24/09 and it arrived yesterday. $14.39 S&H included.

The transfer is MPEG-4 AVC Video and audio is DTS-HD Master 7.1.

it wouldnt be worth it thou cuz what youd pay in shipping alone (in addition to price of title) you may as well walk into a bb or futureshop and pick it up here.

p.s - i hear pq is not that great. 3 or 3.5/5 (only a slight upgrade over the dvd)

CdnBlu · 08-14-2009, 05:39 PM

damn...do we have a set release date for Canada yet? or is it the same?

Also I never snagged the DVD, so this will be a must buy for me!

Kinowelt have just released a German BD:

The Ninth Gate Blu-ray

Reduman · 08-18-2011, 07:10 AM

This is due to be released today, but I have not read any reviews as to whether the German version (I live in Germany so it would be easy for me to buy today, if I wanted to) is an improvement in terms of PQ over the old US release. I will only buy if that is the case .....

Reduman, did you ever have the Kinowelt 2DVD? If so, was the half-hour documentary on Polanski in English or French, or was it in German?

Reduman · 08-18-2011, 08:32 PM

Hi,
I actually have an unopened copy of the Kinowelt 2 DVD version somewhere. I will check this for you and get back to you over the next few days - sorry, it's just that I am very busy at the moment!
I hope that the Kinowelt blu-ray version is better ( PQ wise) than the earlier US release - I am still waiting for an authorative review before committing my cash. The versions can be very different. I am led to believe that the new US release of the "Name of the Rose" (starring Bond veteran Sean Connery and a very young Christian Slater) is much better in terms of PQ than the German version .....

I have just checked a few minutes of it - it's in English I presume you mean the feature "Inside Roman Polanski" ??

No I mean the half hour interview listed in the Wicked Vision review of the 2xDVD set (it appears it has been ported over to the BD, that's why I'm curious).

Reduman · 08-22-2011, 11:19 AM

Sorry, I'll have to look at that one - get back to you later

Reduman · 08-24-2011, 06:20 AM

The 32 minute interview with Polanski is in French with German subtitles - so I hope your French or German is up to scratch!!
