Man Bites Dog (1992), belgium crime/dark comedy mockumentary in b&w
originally named 'C'est arrivé près de chez vous' (It happened in your neighborhood)
a hitman is on a serie of assassinations, while being followed by a shooting crew for a documentary
one of the funnier francophone comedies, pretty indie (student film)
better watched with french audio and english subs (the way you'd watch most foreign movies i guess)
benoit poelvoorde already great at his beginnings (no idea if you people actually know the guy, but eh)
great use of the fake documentary style, with a fair bit of meta (the members of the shooting crew become characters themselves)
Another great mocumentary: Street Thief
A small documentary crew follows around 'professional' thief Kasper Carr. Kasper's character is well developed, and you get to hear all of the tricks of his trade.
