The Ninth Gate/YMMV

Book YMMV:

 * Genius Bonus:
 * Rooting for the Empire: In-story, Liana is a big fan of Milady de Winter and hates the Musketeers.
 * The Untwist:

Movie YMMV:

 * Crowning Moment of Funny: In a rather serious movie, there's only one, but it's a good one:
 * Evil Is Sexy: Liana Telfer seduces Corso shortly after her husband's death in order to get Corso's copy of the book.
