Ghost World (Criterion Collection) 2001 BLU-RAY
-----------------------------------------------
Terry Zwigoff’s first fiction film, adapted from a cult-classic
comic by Daniel Clowes, is an idiosyncratic portrait of
adolescent alienation that's at once bleakly comic and wholly
endearing. Set during the malaise-filled months following
high-school graduation, Ghost World follows the proud misfit Enid
(Thora Birch), who confronts an uncertain future amid the
cultural wasteland of consumerist suburbia. As her cynicism
becomes too much to bear even for her best friend, Rebecca
(lett Johansson), Enid finds herself drawn to an unlikely
kindred spirit: a sad-sack record collector many years her senior
(Steve Buscemi). With its parade of oddball characters, quotable,
O-nominated script, and eclectic soundtrack of vintage
obscurities, Ghost World is one of the twenty-first century’s
most fiercely beloved comedies.
