Review of Man Bites Dog (1992) by Tim S — 15 Dec 2009

I am a big fan of the documentary style when it's done right and this is done really well. The black and white looks great and none of it seems forced or lame like most mockumentaries that have come out as of late.

A lot of that has to be attributed to Benoit Poelvoorde, who is fantastic as the main character. There were a couple of times I wish they would have left the crew out of it, but I understand what they were trying to do.

Great commentary on reality television and takes viewers on a very perverse ride. Not for everyone and very disturbing at times, but also very funny at times. Great film.
