*About _Ghost World_*
Terry Zwigoff’s first fiction film, adapted from a cult-classic comic by Daniel Clowes, is an idiosyncratic portrait of adolescent alienation that is at once bleakly funny and wholly endearing. Set during the malaise-filled months following high-school graduation, _Ghost World_ follows the proud misfit Enid (Thora Birch), her best friend, Rebecca (Scarlett Johansson), and a sad-sack record collector (Steve Buscemi). With its parade of oddball characters, quotable, Oscar-nominated script, and eclectic soundtrack of vintage obscurities, _Ghost World_ is one of the twenty-first century’s most fiercely beloved comedies.
