Film #3 is the first international film to appear on this blog. A messy, sticky Belgium pastry puff of cinema, this movie does what Europe does best, turn the tragic into a cynical farce. Enter Ben, a serial killer who is shadowed by a live camera crew that presents an objective (at first) POV. Not recommended for the prudish, the death scenes range from realistically bizarre to comically tragic. Ben provides his own narration that offers a glimpse into his own particular world view. One of those movies that will subtly haunt you for days.
Man Bites Dog released in 1992
