Actually not unpleasant, "Man Bites Dog" is a sometimes funny, always unsettling mock-doc that broke the mold in the genre.

Extremely grim mockumentary parodying the media's glorification of violence. Some of the on-screen gore is extremely tasteless (especially the rape scene) which led me to feel there's more than a little hypocrisy at play here; but it is knowing and has some stand-out moments, particularly the scene when they run into a rival film crew.

This faux documentary style film is one bleak satire. Very few will find the humor in it and those that do won't necessarily laugh-out-loud. The random violence becomes numbing, just as the message becomes more clear. It's not an easy watch, but one that carries a purpose with it's shock value.

Any film that makes me this uncomfortable has something special. With a wickedly keen eye, this black and white look at the life of an everyday serial killer through the lens of an indifferent camera crew is disturbing, yet gripping.
