Man Bites Dog
Man Bites Dog (1993) is a Belgian black-comedy with the dubious honour of having the greatest number of international bannings for a film permitted in the US.
The film features a trio of documentary makers who trail a poetry-reciting, chamber music-composing serial-killer as he goes about his day-to-day business of murderous rampage. Ben, the film’s predatory protagonist, precedes Ellis’ Bateman as the original charismatic serial-killer, and the film’s plot precedes The Truman Show to be the original movie to ask the big questions when it comes to reality-TV.
It’s probably not the feel-good hit to take the kids to this summer,but it could be a good option for anyone who likes to laugh and thinkat the same time.
