About this product
Product Information
Terry Zwigoff finally follows up his 1994 breakout success, CRUMB, with this infectious, insightful, and ultimately sad look at teenage angst and boredom in suburbia that recalls such films as WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE and RUSHMORE as well as MTV's excellent DARIA series. The screenplay, written by Zwigoff and Daniel Clowes, is based on Clowes's underground comic book, GHOST WORLD. Best friends Enid and Rebecca have graduated from high school, and now they need to figure out what comes next. Rebecca gets a menial job at a coffee shop and starts looking for an apartment, while Enid wallows in her miserable (Daria-like) worldview, in which all jobs are sellouts and nearly all people are creeps, geeks, and losers. But when she plays a practical joke on the biggest dud of them all, Seymour, a lonely man who lives only for his collection of classic 78s, her life gets turned upside as she finds herself needing him in ways she never thought possible. Thora Birch (Enid) and Steve Buscemi (Seymour) are nothing short of marvelous in their complex roles, and they receive ample support from Scarlet Johansson, Bob Balaban, Teri Garr, Brad Renfro, Illeana Douglas, and the great David Cross. The excellent soundtrack includes songs by Skip James, Blueshammer, the Buzzcocks, Lionel Belasco, Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks, and Mohammed Rafi, among others. Note to Buscemi fans: There's a small bit at the end of the credits, so stick around.Product Identifiers

Great Film Loaded With Independent Cool !
The quirky 60's dance video at the film's outset is worth the price, alone. And beyond that, its a short, but very worthwhile journey through the post-High School blues and personality struggles of two likeable best friends who eventually part ways.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

It's always great to see stars in their earlier efforts. Steve Bucsemi was also his usually excellent self.f.
It's great to see actors and actresses in their early movies. Scarlett Johannsen was only about 16 or so, when this movie was made. Thora Birch (who remains the lesser known of the two) also was very good. Hers was probably the slightly larger part.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Bittersweet with a surreal ending
The film opens with a high school girl dancing around to Bollywood music, and that is as happy as she ever gets. Her life slowly falls apart over the course of the movie until she is left no choice but to embrace a sad, mysterious fate at the end, puzzling yet perfect in its surreal, wistful finality. Thora Birch is excellent as Enid. I do wish she had made more movies.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A dark comedy
Advertised as a dark comedy, but more dark and possibly disturbing than comedy. An odd coming of age movie that would appeal to millennials more than older folks.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Quirky & Quaint.
Funny; engaging; thoughtful. I like things a little dark/sad so it fulfilled those needs. Scarlett Johansen never looked better, as did her co-stars.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Love this movie
It's so funny and different. Not your typical crappy chick flick. Has the feel of a really good independent film with strange darker humor. I would compare it to Napoleon Dynamite with a little less sarcasm.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
