Black Book is the week's best treat for lesbians viewers.

Directed by Paul Verhoeven (Basic Instinct, Showgirls), who's always had a knack for picking dangerously sexy actresses, this highly-entertaining spy thriller stars Dutch bombshell Carice van Houten as a Jewish woman using every ounce of her charm and every inch of her body to avenge her family killed by German soldiers in World War II.

After her loved ones are machine-gunned by the Nazis, Carice gradually finds her way to the Dutch resistance. She dyes her hair blonde, penetrates the upper echelons of the Gestapo and seduces its top officer (Sebastian Koch, from Germany's Oscar-winner for foreign-language film The Lives of Others).

But he turns to be less of a monster than she expected, and little by little she starts to fall for him...

Now the plot may remind you of that other recent spy thriller, Lee Ang's Lust, Caution. But where Lee's film was slow and contemplative, Black Book moves at breakneck speed. There's plenty of cloak-and-dagger intrigue, with countless crosses and double-crosses. Throw in some sex and nudity — Carice has an utterly beautiful pair of breasts — and you can guarantee there is not a dull moment in between.

Black Book is absolutely entertaining. And Carice van Houten is a truly an actress to watch out for.
