a.k.a. “It Happened In Your Neighborhood”. VILE–you betcha!! ROTTEN–you betcha!!! WRONG ON 10,000 LEVELS—ohh, you betcha!!! DARKLY, DIRTILY FUNNY AS HELL—yeah, you betcha!! “Man Bites Dog” AIN’T for Everyone..but in the right mindset (look at it as a “Reality Show”…and there are some trashy entries in THAT Genre!), and it’s passable. Besides that, don’t say that I never warned ya’.
Thanks again, Rarelust–you constantly ROCK!
Come on, lighten up! I regret having seen Bridget Jones’ Diary – it made me ashamed to be a woman! Man Bites Dog is a veritable palette cleanser in comparison! It’s a sick satire, a nasty black comedy, an el cheapo shocker from a time when it seemed like an excitingly original idea to do a handheld mockumentary about a wisecracking serial killer which makes fun of an audience’s love of true crime sleaze. Weirdly, an Australian student film called TARGET AUDIENCE directed by Greg Woodland has *exactly* the same plot, was made two years earlier, and does it all in 15 minutes, including a climactic bloody shoot-out between two serial killers and their respective film crews who happen to run into each other and become part of each others’ documentaries. Target Audience did play film festivals, but it could have just been a coincidence. Something was definitely in the air!
The movie that let us discover Benoît Poelvoorde, an absolute must see.
This is one of the only movies that every french-speaking Belgian knows by heart.
It pleases me much that Jutta Daems is from Flemish Antwerp, or I’d have to stop listening to her songs ;)
One of the vilest films ever made. I much regret having seen this one. Writing this naturally attracts the curious. The kind of curious who will like it. Whichever way, one loses.
