ReviewsSight and Sound - ...Inconceivably authentic....MAN BITES DOG is a wonderfully ramshackle portrait...
Additional InformationA documentary crew is fascinated by the charismatic, unrepentant serial killer whose crimes they set out to objectively chronicle. But as the violence escalates, they become more and more complicit in his shocking actions. A disturbingly low-key satire of the connection between violence and the media.

This happens to be my favourite film but admittedly, It won't be everyone's 'Cup Of Tea' as it's not exactly your standard subject matter, style or budget BUT those aside, To know this was made by 4 student film makers on a shoe-string budget as submission for a University project makes it even more amazing - Especially as it went on to win numerous prizes at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival where it had it's 1st official screening.
The film went on to inspire great filmmakers such as Quentin Tarantino & Oliver Stone .
