See the most agreed on films →A documentary crew follows a charismatic and talkative serial killer, recording his daily routine and brutal crimes. Initially objective observers, the filmmakers gradually become complicit in his actions, helping him with his grisly work and eventually sharing in the profits. The line between documentarian and participant blurs in this dark satire on media violence and complicity.
