In this pitch-black mockumentary, a camera crew accompanies the charismatic serial killer Ben, who kills people with the nonchalance of a neighbor boy and the eloquence of a literature professor. Along the way, he gives tips on the weight of corpses, home decor and how to deliver the mail more efficiently - literally. With biting humor and merciless satire, the film leaves a mark that is hard to shake off. Directed by Rémy Belvaux, Man Bites Dog is cynical fun, bitter social criticism and an absurd study of the fascination of evil. It shows how easily we consume violence as long as it is well staged. The film shocked audiences when it was released - today it is considered a cult classic that asks questions that you might rather not answer.
