Thin

Anorexia and bulimia - these are the names of two of the most famous eating disorders that appear on the pages of "women's" magazines. At the same time, other pages of these magazines display photographs of models who don't weigh more than 50 kilos. Consequently, what message are we being given? Are we really being warned against the disproportionate and dangerous desire for a slim figure or are we being subliminally invited to go down this road? The American photographer Lauren Greenfield makes her documentary debut with the film Thin, which follows up on her previous photographic work. For six months Greenfield filmed at a Florida centre for the treatment of eating disorders. Observing the patients' everyday routine gradually transforms into an open dialogue with them. Troublesome morning weigh-ins, therapy sessions and humiliating but necessary examinations by the staff are alternated with authentic interviews with the girls. From these, we learn about the causes of their illness. Regardless of the reasons, all the girls expected happiness and success from having a thin body. Instead, they found themselves at rock bottom.
