Summary

Paul Verhoeven (Basic Instinct, Starship Troopers) won international acclaim for this sexy, gory film noir.

Enter Gerard Reve (Jeroen Krabbé), the bisexual writer of several controversial novels. Unable to resist the alluring Christine, he also finds himself attracted to Herman. Unfortunately he always begins to believe that the deaths of Christine's past husbands were not accidental and that he and Herman may also be living on borrowed time.
