A few years back, there was a clever Belgian movie called Man Bites Dog, in which a TV documentary team follows a serial killer around and becomes embroiled in his nefarious activities. A similar device is used in the Australian black comedy, The Magician, which stars its writer-director Scott Ryan as Ray Shoesmith, a self-admiring hitman, whose life and confessions are being recorded by an Italian film-maker. The condition is that the film cannot be shown until after Ray's death. It's amusing and weirdly convincing.
