Ghost World (2001)
Country: US
Technical: DeLuxe 112m
Director: Terry Zwigoff
Cast: Thora Birch, Scarlett Johansson, Steve Buscemi, Illeana Douglas, Bob Balaban
Synopsis:
Eighteen year-old girls graduating from high school resolve to get a flat together and follow their unconventional creed through life; one, however, finds it easier to reconcile self-advancement with her jaundiced view of society than the other.
Review:
Unusual piece of America-inspired anomie, like a cross between Todd Solondz and John Waters. Based on a comic book, it achieves the required degree of sharpness and sardonic humour while maintaining an impression of alienation in the heroine, who is as clued up about everyone else as she is uncomprehending of herself. Energetic, inventive and humane filmmaking.
