FULL UNCUT VERSION This cult classic Belgian crime mockumentary blends comedy and gritty, graphic realism, and is regarded as the inspiration for Quentin Tarantino's Natural Born Killers. A film crew follows a ruthless thief and heartless killer as he goes about his daily routine. But complications set in when the film crew lose their objectivity and begin lending a hand. This controversial film was written, produced and directed by student filmmakers Rémy Belvaux, André Bonzel and Benoît Poelvoorde, and shot on Black & White 16mm film on a shoestring budget. They received acclaim from several film festivals including Cannes and Toronto, leaving a lasting legacy among critics and fans. Original title: C'est arrivé près de chez vous.

Man Bites Dog (1992)
96 min
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.
