The activities of rampaging, indiscriminate serial killer Ben are recorded by a willingly complicit documentary team, who eventually become his accomplices and active participants. Ben provides casual commentary on the nature of his work and arbitrary musings on topics of interest to him, such as music or the conditions of low-income housing, and even goes so far as to introduce the documentary crew to his family. But their reckless indulgences soon get the better of them.

From NWI, been meaning to watch Man Bites Dog (1992) for quite some time. This wasn’t at all the film I expected it to be. Not sure what I expected but this mockumentary about a serial killer in France is a very good, black comedy. 7.8/10
