This
award
winning
fake
documentary
was
made
by
a
gang
of
film
students
and
became
a
conversation
topic
around
the
world
for
its
casual
and
graphic
depiction
of
a
killer
followed
around
by
a
camera
crew,
explaining
and
demonstrating
his
cold
blooded
life.
Shocking
but
highly
effective,
one
feels
a
bit
guilty
if
you
take
a
liking
to
this
nut,
especially
when
things
get
out
of
hand
and
the
camera
crew
gets
involved.
With
the
snuff
movie
fascination
again
becoming
a
point
of
interest,
Man
Bites
Dog
can
also
be
slotted
into
this
genre,
but
as
most
movies
dealing
with
the
subject,
is
never
an
actual
snuff
movie,
but
a
depiction
of
an
apparent
one.
Predating
the
oversaturated
reality
TV
era,
many
people
feel
this
may
well
be
the
way
things
are
heading
–
having
seen
people
having
sex
on
Big
Brother,
now
waiting
for
someone
to
bite
it
on
live
TV
–
but
then
again,
you
just
have
to
watch
the
news
for
a
dose
of
graphic
reality
carnage,
several
times
a
day
-
which
in
its
turn
can
be
seen
as
acceptable
voyeurism.
Man
Bites
Dog
also
spawned
many
imitations,
even
here
in
South
Africa,
but
none
capture
the
style,
shock-,
and
entertainment
value
of
this
classic.
