Netherlands | 35mm, Color, 102’ | Dutch

An author who has visions of an impending doom and a black widow who has already wasted three lovers… Verhoeven’s The Fourth Man is a dark but compelling comedy of sex, suspicion, and murder. The last film that the director made in Holland before heading to Hollywood, Verhoeven would later call The Fourth Man “a prequel” to his film Basic Instinct.
