The only place I found was in the "Awards and Reviews" section and there it was not to be found.Well, I try not to read reviews anyway...
Go to www.imdb.com, type Man Bites Dog in the search database block
(all), then click on Go! This will take you to the page for that
film, with the french title prominent, a photo of the videotape with
"Man Bites Dog" underneath the title. Scroll down to bottom of this
page and click on "check for other user comments"; this will take you
to all the reviews, listed chronologically. Just scroll down until
you reach King's review dated 9 March 2000. - AH
I have never gone into that area.Anyway, I would only like to quote a small part of his review:
"I felt really dirty and uncomfortable after watching this film and I believe that this is precisely how I was supposed to feel."
I agree here completely. Unfortunately, "feeling dirty and uncomfortable" is not what I seek in movies, and in art in general. I still believe in that old-fashion notion that art is supposed to bring out the better in us.
Your cinematic philosophy was shared by reviewer Leonard Maltin when
he rated Wes Craven's controversial, supposedly disgusting 1972 film "Last House On The Left" a BOMB, (whereas, OTOH, Roger Ebert gave it 4 stars!). - AH
