Man Bites Dog

This darkly comedic Belgian film follows a documentary crew as they shadow a charismatic yet chillingly nonchalant serial killer named Ben, played by Benoît Poelvoorde, who also co-directed the film alongside Rémy Belvaux and André Bonzel. The film explores the blurred lines between observer and participant as the crew becomes increasingly complicit in Ben’s violent escapades. Notably, it won the International Critics’ Prize at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival, highlighting its impact and acclaim. The film’s unique blend of mockumentary style and satirical commentary on media sensationalism makes it a compelling watch. For those interested, it can be viewed for free on Soap2day.
