Need something to watch? Well we’re here to help! If you loved the frantic adventures of Jake Gyllenhall’s Lou Bloom in Nightcrawler, then you should make it your business to watch the dark satirical, ultra-violent 1992 Belgian film MAN BITES DOG. SUBSCRIBE: http://goo.gl/9AGRm
The original title is C’est arrivé près de chez vous that translates more directly into “It Happened in Your Neighborhood” The film is a black comedy crime mockumentary written, produced and directed by Rémy Belvaux, André Bonzel and Benoît Poelvoorde, who are also the film’s co-editor, cinematographer and lead actor respectively.
The film follows a crew of filmmakers following 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 Film by the Belgian Film Critics Association (UCC). Since its release, the picture has become a cult film.
