Benny's Video (1992) in German with English subtitles. Sociopathic teenager, inspired by home video of a pig being slaughtered, kills a girl he has just met. As an added fillip, he videotapes himself killing her, and later shows the video to his parents.
This is an early work from the Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke, who smugly seems to think he has discovered the idea that there is too much violence in the media. While "exposing" it, he exploits it. Grade: D
