"Man Bites Dog is a Belgian film in 1992. It’s about a film crew that starts following a serial killer around, and he’s charming and disarming and delightful, and he kills people with this film crew never interceding. The first time you see it, you’re like, “Wait a minute,” and you laugh a few times, and the second time, you laugh the whole time. It’s a bleak, dark comedy, but my god, it’s so funny. It was unlike anything I had ever seen before. It was before the onslaught of reality television, but it makes a perfect comment on it now. It had subtitles and I still loved it. I laughed so hard."

"The ultimate existential gangster film. Hypnotic, detailed, ritualistic, it has influenced  films like John Woo’s The Killer and the more recent Drive. Alain Delon  gives his most memorable performance as an ice-cold assassin above such mundane  concerns as moral conscience. Though violent in its subject matter, Jean-Pierre  Melville’s film is also cool, meticulously lit, and classically framed. It  operates in a kind of dream state. It’s the opposite of the fevered emotional style of  most gangster films. The pauses and silences help make it the visual equivalent of Harold  Pinter’s dialogue. This is my favorite Melville film, and the extras are among  Criterion’s finest, including an interview with John Woo and one with Melville himself."
