    NB:

    Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times highly praised the film upon its release, writing, “Man Bites Dog defines audacity. An assured, seductive chamber of horrors, it marries nightmare with humor and then abruptly takes the laughter away. Intentionally disturbing, it is close to the last word about the nature of violence on film, a troubling, often funny vision of what the movies have done to our souls… The deserving winner of the International Critics Award at Cannes …”
