A documentary film crew, a serial killer and the consequences of it

© Les Artistes Anonymes

Imagine joining a documentary film crew and deciding to follow the daily life of a cold, calculating serial killer. He agrees, and before long, you find yourself not only witnessing his crimes but also becoming an accomplice to them. Along the way, he casually talks about music, architecture, and family relationships.

Curious to see how it all unfolds? Then you need to watch the Belgian cult classic Man Bites Dog, also known as C'est arrivé près de chez vous. A film that turns the camera into one of its main characters, while humanizing — without truly humanizing — a monster.

The film is available to stream on Prime Video — depending on your region.
