Documentary filmmakers André and Rémy have found an ideal subject in Ben. He is witty, sophisticated, intelligent, well liked—and a serial killer. As André and Rémy document Ben’s routines, they become increasingly entwined in his vicious program, sacrificing their objectivity and their morality. Controversial winner of the International Critics’ Prize at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival, Man Bites Dog stunned audiences worldwide with its unflinching imagery and biting satire of media violence. —The Criterion Collection

I was turned on to this film after watching Romain Gavras's music video for "Justice - Stress." The music video was completely influenced directly by "Man Bites Dog."

No story, just pure character, pure satire, a pure turnaround of morality. Could be a bit more funny.

A masterpiece that must be watched twice. The first viewing to get the uneasy feeling off, the second viewing to wonder why the hell you were uneasy to begin with. Very funny to boot!
