Belgian filmmaker Rémy Belvaux, whose sole feature Man Bites Dog became a cult hit, has died, his family said Wednesday. He was 38.

Despite the movie's impact, Belvaux never shot another feature, instead turning to directing commercials for which he won several industry awards. "He leaves us one masterpiece and tons of regrets," his family said in their statement.

Very sad, especially as I'm a huge fan of Man Bites Dog. But if he was 38, how did he live from 1966-2006?

That's a damn good question, Aaron. Turns out, Wikipedia's more trustworthy than the IMDb in this case. Born in November 1967, evidently. Thanks for catching that.

I worked with Remy in South Africa, he was one of the most amazing human beings I have ever worked with and a brilliant Director. My thoughts are with Odile his wife.
