CPH:DOX 2017: CRAIGSLIST ALLSTARS BY SAMIRA ELAGOZ
By Morella Moret
Craigslist Allstars is a postmodern tale of the loneliness of man. The director Samira Elagoz opens the film with an e-mail: she contacts strangers so she can then record herself meeting them and anything that happens in the process. She listens to them, disinhibits them and creates a safe place for them to present their secrets and deepest pains, and we are there to witness this.
