  Nexus MP3 Hardware :: The Ninth Configuration   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
THE NINTH CONFIGURATION will restore your hope in 'the human condition', and is one of the most convincing fictional testiments ever put on celluloid about why some of us choose to believe in a GOD, and the blessings that belief bestows upon the Faithful.
The Ninth Configuration is of the latter variety.
Incidentally, for those not familiar with this at all, the title, The Ninth Configuration, is a complex cell structure that would've been required to appear from "nothing" in order for life as we know it to have begun on this planet.

The first two acts of The Ninth Configuration are uproariously funny, but a thread of mystery runs through them.
A few different versions of The Ninth Configuration have been floating around for years, but earlier this year, Warner Bros. released what Blatty says is the definitive cut.
In The Ninth Configuration, he has written, produced, and directed what is simply one of the greatest movies ever made in any genre.

Like so many of my favorite films, The Ninth Configuration (the title is explained once, rather obliquely, in a discussion about the need for a god) does not fit easily into some demographic category or die-cut genre.
Ninth Configuration did no business, was withdrawn quickly and only issued once after that on video.

 Ghost Signs - The ninth configuration by William Peter Blatty   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Comment: While "The Exorcist" put Blatty on the map, it is the "Ninth Configuration" that established him as a "literary" writer.
We are dealing with military misfits and instead of the deeply troubled priest, we have the deeply troubled psychologist.
NINTH CONFIGURATION is fun and interesting and for me that's enough.

 Worldwide DVD :: Ninth Configuration, The
Writer/Director William Peter Blatty has said that he considers “The Ninth Configuration” to be the true sequel to his classic horror “The Exorcist”, although in many ways this statement does not do justice to this wonderful story.
As with his earlier novel Blatty wrestles with the themes of spirituality and psychology, however “The Ninth Configuration” approaches these topics with a greater depth and maturity that translate brilliantly in the film adaptation.
“The Ninth Configuration” is an excellent film that takes you into the deeper realms of the human mind and the nature of torment, stunning performances all around make for an enjoyable film that is quite disturbing and funny at times.

 Film as Art: Danél Griffin's Guide to Cinema   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
William Peter Blatty’s The Ninth Configuration is a clever, theological drama disguised as a fl comedy.
Blatty calls The Ninth Configuration the second part of a trilogy of faith, the other films in the series being The Exorcist and The Exorcist III (as I have noted elsewhere, the “official” Exorcist II was a very unfortunate sequel and is best left forgotten; The Ninth Configuration fills the hole much better).
The Ninth Configuration, then, is a quietly absorbing drama, so totally opposite from The Exorcist that the biggest surprise comes when we ultimately realize how similar the two films actually are.

 Being There
Flanders was perhaps the most naturalistic actor to ever come down the pike and he gives even the most absurd situations a reality and a gravitas even when his character is unnaturally obsessed with having his pants wrinkled by an inmate or cracking corny jokes at the skull that sits on his desk.
My carp with The Ninth Configuration when I watch it now is that it seems to stack the deck in favor of Kane and his pro-faith arguments.
Kane's ninth configuration argument is powerful (and the Christ/moon imagery unsettling in its beauty) but certainly Cutshaw could have come back with a monologue that beat Bill Hicks to the punch on dinosaurs and creationism.

 The Ninth Configuration (1980) review by the Jackass Critics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Ninth Configuration is something of a puzzle, as a film and as a thing to classify, because it really defies classification.
All told, the acting of EVERYONE in Ninth Configuration is wonderful, the actors creating lovable madmen that all seem to have something more just under the surface, in a place we will never see.
Essentially this is a tale of lost faith and lost soul, and without the actors, as well as Blatty wrote and directed this, the film would amount to nothing.

 Dark Planet: Nonfiction: A Chat With William Peter Blatty
Not by my mother, but by my childhood, which I once described as "comfortably destitute." I wanted in a stroke to let the reader know that Joan -- the ferocity of her will, her obsessive drive for money and material things -- were formed by an impoverished childhood.
It's always seemed to me that The Exorcist, The Ninth Configuration, and Legion formed a sort of "unofficial" trilogy -- with The Ninth Configuration serving as a thematic bridge between the more overt horrors in The Exorcist and the intensely introverted struggles of Kinderman in Legion.
The Ninth Configuration approached the problem via what I call "the mystery of goodness": if we are reducible to matter without spirit, to soulless atomic structures, then we ought to be always rushing blindly and irresistibly to sereve our own selfish ends.

It's the kind of story that could have chased its tail into pretentious oblivion, yet The Ninth Configuration manages to remain grounded thanks to the thorough sense of craftsmanship that all its participants bring to the table.
Blatty's direction manages to be stylish without ever feeling obtrusive: he uses Gerry Fisher's darkly atmospheric cinematography to wrap the tale in artful but unobtrusive compositions that give the story room to unfold, but uses sharp editing to maintain a carefully modulated pace that deftly traverses the story's multiple twists.
In short, the eccentric and challenging nature of The Ninth Configuration might put some viewers off, but its barrage of thought-provoking ideas and rich craftsmanship make it well worth the effort for adventurous viewers.
