Synopsis

"Man Bites Dog," a darkly comedic mockumentary directed by André Bonzel, Benoît Poelvoorde, and Rémy Belvaux, follows the twisted antics of a charismatic but chilling serial killer. The film delves into the unsettling relationship between a film crew and Ben, a charming yet sinister killer whose heinous crimes are shockingly normalized through the lens of media sensationalism. As the crew becomes increasingly complicit in Ben's murderous spree, the lines between observer and participant blur, raising thought-provoking questions about voyeurism, ethics, and the nature of violence. Featuring a stellar cast including Benoît Poelvoorde, Jacqueline Poelvoorde-Pappaert, and André Bonzel, "Man Bites Dog" pushes boundaries with its blend of dark humor, crime, and drama. Released in 1992, the film's raw and unflinching portrayal of violence challenges audiences to confront their own fascination with the macabre. With its innovative approach to storytelling and provocative themes, "Man Bites Dog" remains a cult classic that continues to spark discussions about the media's role in shaping our perception of crime and morality.
