aka C'est arrivé près de chez vous.
"Once I buried two Arabs in a wall over there... Facing Mecca, of course."
A camera crew follows serial killer Ben (Benoît Poelvoorde), as he gives them his views on life, whilst randomly killing people. As he charms the crew they slowly start to become involved in his crimes.
An extremely black film that looks at the implication of the media and the audience detachment from horrendous events. As we and the crew start to identify or at least laugh along with the protagonist, we are made to realise the point. We are just as implicit in the actions taking place as the people acting them. A dark, comic and ultimately ugly film full of contradictions.
