Man Bites Dog (film)

Man Bites Dog (French: C'est arrivé près de chez vous, It Happened in Your Neighborhood) is a darkly comedic 1992 Belgian crime mockumentary starring Benoît Poelvoorde. In the film, a crew of filmmakers follow a serial killer, recording his horrific crimes for a documentary they are producing. At first dispassionate observers, they find themselves caught up in the increasingly chaotic and nihilistic violence. The film received the André Cavens Award for Best Belgian Film by the Belgian Syndicate of Cinema Critics (UCC). Since its release the picture has become an international cult film.
