If you loved Elle, try Black Book

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Paul Verhoeven, and they both carry the sexy mood tag, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Elle, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Black Book is

Dutch wetlands drowning in autumn. A collapsing attic, a child’s missing shoe. She swims through canal blood to cross into a war that still burns in her bones, trading innocence for a German officer’s bed. Verhoeven’s razor-wire morality play: eros as a land mine no one disarms carefully enough.
