Man Bites Dog

"Makes Reservoir Dogs look like muzzled mongrels." - The Guardian An outrageous black comedy, hailed as the European film sensation of the year. Made by three young Belgian film students, "Man Bites Dog" was the prize-winning sensation at the Cannes Film Festival in 1992 and has gone on to smash box office records across Europe. One of the most shocking and fascinating cinema debuts in years, "Man Bites Dog" is a spoof documentary about an amiable, erudite but seriously warped mass murderer who kills without motive, conscience, or discretion. All types fall victim to him : teenagers, workmen, pensioners and children; but postmen hold a particular fascination for him. The movie charts the increasingly close relationship between the killer and a film crew making a documentary about his exploits who progress from simply filming him to becoming fully implicated in his horrendous deeds. Deeply disturbing, provocative, challenging and very funny, "Man Bites Dog" is one of the darkest black comedies you are ever likely to see. Once bitten, forever smitten! "Very violent, very funny, very sharp." - Arena
