Catfish

Directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman made their feature debut with this documentary about internet relationships and identity theft. A gullible New York photographer develops a relationship with a family in Michigan that sounds too good to be true which leads to the suspicion of his brother and friend to investigate it. Despite the fact that the documentary feels contrived for obvious reasons, it raises certain issues about cyber romance and the perils of internet. There's no way to makes a film without preparation and setup which hurts its authenticity. 1001 Films coverage of films on DVD.
