The activities of rampaging, indiscriminate serial killer Ben are recorded by a willingly complicit documentary team, who eventually become his accomplices and active participants. Ben provides casual commentary on the nature of his work and arbitrary musings on topics of interest to him, such as music or the conditions of low-income housing, and even goes so far as to introduce the documentary crew to his family. But their reckless indulgences soon get the better of them.

Mom wasn't a musician! She got hers with a broom!Holy fuck this is gold
An excellent, vile mockumentary.
Not only is this a very good comedy but also a top-tier character study.
Pretentious poems, architecture, classical music, yet Benoit remains a performative man with insecurities as bad as his sense of morality.
