Man Bites Dog Movie Review 1991

A pseudo-documentary about a serial killer, filled with ever-mounting violence. Ben is the killer being followed by a two-man camera/sound crew (which he's hired), who record his casual carnage without lifting a finger to stop him. Indeed his continued killing and robbing is to pay for financing the documentary about himself. This satire on film violence, as well as reality-based TV shows, is both appalling and humorous in a sick way. French with English subtitles. Also available in an unrated edited version.
