Christine (Renee Soutendijk) is a three time widow with a mysterious past and a new lover, Herman (Thom Hoffman). Enter Gerard Reve (Jeroen Krabbe), the bisexual writer of several controversial novels. Unable to resist the alluring Christine, he also finds himself attracted to Herman.

This highly-charged, beautifully crafted, heavily symbolic homoerotic thriller is stunning -- as stunning today as it was when it electrified audiences 23 years ago.

This interesting film disintegrates into silly excess, but has much to recommend, including the terrific performance of Jeroen Krabbe.
