A brilliant documentary-style satire in which a film crew follows a charismatic, knowledgeable, well-liked and sophisticated man who also happens to be a vicious serial killer. The ultra-violence of the film protagonist's/antagonist's murders forces the viewer to wonder 'Why am I still watching this?' and true to cinema verité, makes apparent that the film crew members are conflicted with the need to intervene in the crimes or to keep rolling to preserve the reality of the situation. The film is a commentary on the media's effect on violence in society - how people cannot resist the initial horror of a tragedy or gruesome death, but when they feel they should look away, it is far too late.
