Qui a peur du Slenderman ?
Le documentaire américain porte un regard nuancé, mais éprouvant, sur un mythe, une légende urbaine d’Internet, qui a incité en 2014 deux jeunes filles de 12 ans à poignarder une de leur camarade. Pendant 18 mois, la réalisatrice a suivi l’affaire au plus près, interviewant les parents, suivant les rebondissements judiciaires au tribunal, et, surtout, mettant au jour les racines multiples d’un tel événement. Contrairement à de nombreux documentaires traitant de faits divers, l’accent n’est pas mis sur qui, mais sur pourquoi et comment cela est arrivé.

⭐ 5.710/65: Self-Mutilation
Kren’s 10/65 Selfmutilation is developed from a Gunter Brus “action”. What the film emphasizes is the surrealistic drama of symbolic self-destruction that Kren drew out of Brus’ action, pacing out each gesture so that one gets a tense, iconoclastic revelation of a man covered in white plaster lying surrounded by razor blades and a range of instruments looking as if they have been taken from an operating theatre. The blades, scissors and scalpels are gradually inserted into him in a ritualistic self-operation. (Stephen Dwoskin)
