Man Bites Dog

Man Bites Dog is a unique blend of dark comedy, crime, and drama. The primary emotional responses are driven by the film's satirical and unsettling portrayal of a serial killer. Humor is prominent, stemming from the killer's absurd philosophical monologues juxtaposed with his casual brutality. This dark humor is closely intertwined with feelings of being Disturbing and Disgust, as the audience grapples with the amorality and violence depicted. Anxiety and Anticipation build as the camera crew becomes increasingly complicit and the narrative escalates with threats, while Anger and Empathy are evoked for the victims and the crew's moral descent. The film's mockumentary style also contributes to a sense of Confusion and Curiosity about the boundaries of reality and complicity.
