minus-squarelautre@jlai.lulinkfedilinkarrow-up10arrow-down1·5 days agoMan Bites Dog (C’est arrivé près de chez vous) A mockumentary made by student filmmakers. The plot is that they are doing a documentary following the life of a serial killer. The dark humor of this movie is incredibly disturbing but it’s really a movie to watch. The movie is available on archive.org : https://archive.org/details/man-bites-dog
