C'est Arrivé Près De Chez Vous
A camera crew follows a serial killer/thief around as he exercises his craft. He expounds on art, music, nature, society, and life as he offs mailmen, pensioners, and random people. Slowly he begins involving the camera crew in his activities, and they begin wondering if what they're doing is such a good idea, particularly when the killer kills a rival and the rival's brother sends a threatening letter.
Remy Belvaux's controversial mockumentary Man Bites Dog comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.66:1. The French soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. English subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include the original theatrical trailer, an essay from producer Andre Bonzel about the making of the film, a still photo gallery, interviews with the crew, and a short film from the filmmakers. This cult favorite has never looked better on home video, making this disc worthwhile for anyone with adventurous taste
