Unintentional ASMR - The Ninth Gate: Dean Corso visits Victor Fargas

[@SirSpamCollector]

Honestly, the whole movie is ASMR. The way they speak, the sounds of them interacting with books and the world, all of it.. it's great.

[@CR055FIRE]

Roman Polanski does a great job with tone and focus: His tone is usually very smooth like a wave; while his direction is similar to David Fincher, where they both use a lot of quick insert shots and comparisons of information and props - to keep your mind on the story.

[@rufuspipemos]

It's the most ASMR movie of all time.

[@dshogan6174]

We dont know what ASMR means

Good call, I used to put it on to fall asleep. There’s just something about it, great movie.

[@Wisconsinclssic]

It's the books, the lighting, the sound, everything. Never gets old.

Way better than the lesbians and their nails and rape whispering in both sides on the microphone.

[@SLSAMG]

This film is a timeless classic.

[@greatdelusion7654]

Seriously underrated movie. Almost a lost gem but thankfully it has a loyal cult following. It also has one of the most impressive musical scores of all time. I do hope it gets a 4k UHD release some day.

I love how he lights up when showing off his collection and studying the other copy of the Ninth Gate.

[@granttoye5852]

I love this movie because so many scenes are unintentional asmr. The 2 Spanish book collectors and binders is a great scene

[@kitanowitsch]

They are Portuguese.

[@TheSickDistrict]

@@kitanowitsch He is talking about the Ceniza twins. They are Spanish and their bookshop is located in Toledo. Fargas is Portuguese and he lived in Sintra.

I like to watch this movie when i need to escape into a world of mystery and dark intrigue. It helps me to forget the mundane tasks everday and serves as a reminder of the richness the secrecy of people and history can bring to your life.

[@johnbarrington2526]

To be studying old books by fireside and listening to the violin…

[@soloharmonicsrobj8246]

One thing to remember is that these rare book collections (Fargas, Telfer and Balkan) survived the Spanish inquisition, Nazi Germany and were kept hidden from the Catholic church for centuries.

I thought my uncle found this movie boring when he fell asleep. Now I realize the true meaning.

This is the #1 ranked ASMR movie hands down.

Anyone know the name of the coat Johnny wears?

[@donovanbradford8231]

Great upload several scenes in this film have an unintentional ASMR effect. This scene, when Balkan in lists Corseo with the job, and when Corseo meets the twin book binders.

[@Sea-Wolf81]

Everything about this is brilliant

[@Jetsamification]

Jack Taylor played Victor Fargas; he also played that priest Conan beats up for his robes in CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1982)!

[@jamesb6100]

[@dejankisic5457]

Great movie!

[@Annatar0]

its really clever that he's playing a violin (aka the devils instrument) when he looks through the books emphasizing that he's probably playing in memory of Lucifer.

[@karlsi3498]

Cuál será el nombre de la pieza que toca?

[@patriciogonzaga3101]

But according to Baroness Kessler, Victor Fargas was a non-believer

[@Annatar0]

@@patriciogonzaga3101 I think the book had an impact on him whether he liked it or not. Look at the mode change when he suspects Corso has the other version with him.

[@tiagombg]

The moment he saw the keys, great movie.

[@stephanosnavarone138]

Does anyone know the name of the composition that the man is playing on the violin?

Havanaise by Camille Saint Saens

[@stephanosnavarone138]

@@OscarGoesToOskar Thank you so much 👌🏻

[@mksolid82]

Whats funny is how everyone smokes and drinks around the books in this movie. Cigarette smoke is the kiss of death for anything you own. The smell will get all over everything, especially books and paper.

[@Ikaros23]

A important part of the film is about how " patina" and imperfections actually makes the price of a collectors item go up in value. That is on these old items like instruments is not priced for beeing in " mint condition" like baseball cards or old electronics. My guess is that a part of the " value" is the smell of cigarette smoke, and also human DNA ( sweat) from touching the items. The value of " weathering" , and the passage of time. In Japan there is a name for this " Wabi-Sabi"

[@mksolid82]

@ I’ve bought things on eBay that smell of cigarettes. It’s very toxic. I know what you mean. But it’s really not a good thing. Something that is imperfect or worn out is all part of collecting. But smoke damage is pretty bad.

[@anterospinillo618]

We been thru that already.. I gave you the book name and everything...

[@dirdib69]

The Baroness described Fargas as a "non-believer" and he was clearly the least obsessive of all the collectors. I always assumed that the murders were effectively a requirement for the ritual. Otherwise, it seems like Balkan would have been able to get what he wanted without anyone dying.

[@snakeplissken44]

Great asmr except when the loud parts ear-rape you.

[@6900pilot]

I love Corsos love of scotch and cigarettes in this movie

[@kitanowitsch]

17th century books don't look like that.

[@kitanowitsch]

@ralphmacchiato3761 Yea, recently thought of that. Indestructible book.

[@ronnieburton1312]

Honestly, I wouldn't cross the street to see Johnny Depp but the other actor in this scene, Jack Taylor, is the reason I checked out this movie. He has lived in Europe for decades and acted in many cult Spanish horror films of varying quality. Also, he has worked in the English dubbing of those films for export and dubbed Paul Naschy several times.

[@PatricksBreastplate]

Frank Langella is marvellous too. 'Mumbo jumbo, mumbo jumbo'. I enjoyed Depp though.

What’s asmr

[@YTcanLetUsDown]

Tingling, energetic feeling, use a search engine for a decent description. I don't understand it here unless people love the feeling scenes of the movie give them.

[@SLOTHSRIDEUNICORNS]

Autonomous sensory meridian response. Otherwise known as that satisfying feeling you feel when you hear Dean and Fargas flipping the pages in the books. ASMR is a very useful tool in may ways. This movie is a goldmine. Just from Dean talking itself.
