Review
I always liked Dan Clowes' comics. His work definitely subscribed to the idea of having a "style that was all his own". And for my money, this style fits in even more effectively in the medium of film than it does in the comicbook version of what is known as th... read more
A very good movie
Review
"Ghost world" is a story about Enid - girl, who wasn't like the other teenagers. She is strange indie girl. And it's hard to say what's on her mind. But she's everything I like, with no lies or fake masks of "good". Sh... read more

" Ghost World is a 2001 black comedy film co-written and directed by Terry Zwigoff. Based on the 1990s comic book Ghost World by Daniel Clowes, the story focuses on the lives of teenage outsiders Enid and Rebecca, who face a rift in their friendship as Enid takes an interest in an older man named Seymour, and becomes determined to help his romantic life. Ghost World debuted at the Seattle International Film Festival in 2001. It had little box office impact but received positive reviews. It was "
An overlooked character-based dark comedy
“Adapted from the 1990s graphic novel series by Daniel Clowes, 2001's Ghost World is a wonderful, deadpan, darkly comedic depiction of post-high school teenage angst with its inherent ups and downs. Clowes was involved in adapting his comic for the big screen, collaborating with director Terry Zwigoff (Crumb, Bad Santa) on the screenplay that received an Academy Award nomination. Eschewing traditional Hollywood teen comedy conventions, Ghost World is a refreshing and unusual film in its conception and execution; it's challenging to predict each story development, and the film concludes on a deliberately ambiguous, open-ended note that leaves room for interpretation.
After graduating from high school, best friends and misanthropic social outcasts Enid (Thora Birch) and Rebecca (Sca” read more
" First Viewing Viewing Date: March 23rd Via: DVD Plot: Two eccentric best friends graduate high school and respond to a man's romance-seeking newspaper ad as a gag, only to find their lives becoming increasingly complicated. Rating: 7.9/10 Why Did I Watch It? This is something of a cult film, and it was recommended by someone I trust. Plus, it's from the director of Bad Santa."
" Rebecca "And you haven't heard of the miracle of masturbation?""
" *First comic book film too be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay."
" "I can't relate to 99% of humanity." Directed by Terry Zwigoff Written by Terry Zwigoff Music by David Kitay Cinematography by Affonso Beato Editing by Carole Kravetz Aykanian and Michael R. Miller"
" Director: Terry Zwigoff His 3rd Movie My 4th movie watched from the director. A rightfully odd look at two friends trying to tackle life immediately after graduation and trying to figure out who they are what they want to be. The main character's development is effectively shown in strange and lovely scenes. Actually released the year I graduated yet it took me 20 years to actually watch it.

" Notes: To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this flick and I should definitely re-watch it at some point. Anyway, I really loved the damned thing. Indeed, after all those American Pie clones and other weak and underwhelming high-school comedies, we might forgot how it was to be in our late teens. Those movies may be entertaining (most aren't though) but they are always completely unrealistic. In my opinion, ‘Ghost World’ was a massive wake up call and send me right back in t"
