"A death-obsessed, dreamlike thriller and a wickedly funny comedy." -Newsweek


Gerard Reve (Jeroen Krabbe) is a controversial alcoholic novelist who claims his stories "lie the truth". But when he is seduced by sexy widow Christine (Renee Soutendijk), Gerard finds himself trapped in a nightmare of blasphemy, bloodshed, and bisexual desire. Has Christine brutally murdered her previous three husbands or is Gerard only hallucinating his horrific fate as 'The Fourth Man'?


Part savage thriller, part outrageous black comedy, this acclaimed erotic shocker was the final Dutch-language film directed by Paul Verhoeven and features stunning cinematography by Jan de Bont (director of 'Speed' and 'Twister').
