man bites dog (1992)

directed by benoît poelvoorde, rémy belvaux & andré bonzel

watched 12/06/2023

an american psycho-type found-footage film which was pretty transgressive but not all that fun for me. it engaged me enough throughout the (relatively short) runtime but most of the comedic beats were missed on me. an interesting film from belgium nonetheless.

3/5

1.Man Bites Dog (1992) - Directed by Rémy Belvaux, André Bonzel, and Benoît Poelvoorde

"Usually I start the month with a postman." When it comes to the most disturbing dark comedies, nothing can top this groundbreaking satirical mockumentary. Man Bites Dog is about a documentary crew filming the daily life of Ben (Benoît Poelvoorde), a charismatic yet ruthless serial killer. The film blurs the line between observer and participant as the crew becomes increasingly involved in Ben's violent activities, even assisting in his crimes. The narrative unfolds with a mix of dark humor and graphic violence, exploring themes of media sensationalism and the desensitization to brutality.

Dismissed by some as in poor taste, Man Bites Dog is stark, unapologetic, and smart, with a lot more going than initially meets the eye. More than that, some have interpreted the movie as a statement on filmmaking itself. The viewer is also implicated in this critique. For these reasons and more, the film is still shocking more than 30 years after its release. There's nothing quite like it.

The 10 Most Disturbing Dark Comedy Movies, Ranked

By Luc Haasbroek - 1 day ago

The best dark comedies operate in that narrow zone between entertaining and unsettling. They challenge social norms and push the boundaries of conventional storytelling, using humor to tackle serious topics like mental illness, revenge, and existential despair. By packaging these themes alongside hearty laughs, their commentary becomes easier to swallow but no less impactful.

Indeed, many dark comedies are funny at first but, when one ponders them for a while, they become unnerving, even frightening. The viewer laughs even as they squirm in discomfort. With this in mind, here are the ten dark comedies that disturb their audience the most. From biting social commentaries to damning character studies, these movies prove that comedy seriousness need not be mutually exclusive.

SUBLIME CINEMA #585 - MAN BITES DOG

Belgian cinema is a weird beast - there’s the French and Vlaams split, and excellent films released from both the north and south, that sometimes feel like they’re coming from two completely different countries. Man Bites Dog - played in a thick Belgian French - took cue from two 90′s trends: lo-fi indie shoestring black and white, and ultraviolent comedies a la Tarantino - and it remains one of the country’s most fucked up exports.
