Ghost World
“Accentuate the negative.”
Director
Terry Zwigoff
Screenplay
Daniel Clowes, Terry Zwigoff
Terry Zwigoff's cult indie, adapted from Daniel Clowes's graphic novel, follows two sardonic, alienated teens (Thora Birch and Scarlett Johansson) drifting after high school, until one strikes up an unlikely bond with a lonely middle-aged record collector, played beautifully by Steve Buscemi. Deadpan, melancholy and sharply funny, it captures adolescent disaffection with rare honesty. Critically beloved and Oscar-nominated for its screenplay, it endures as a defining film of American outsider cool.
