Ghost World is a cultural cornerstone for many who came of age around the time of its 2001 release. Terry Zwigoff’s film adaptation of Daniel Clowes’ seminal graphic novel captured the essence of a generation, and introduced audiences to Scarlett Johansson two years before Lost In Translation made her a star. Now a bona fide cult classic - with an Academy Award nomination and Criterion Collection release to boot - it’s known as a key text of disaffected early-2000s youth culture.
But Ghost World has greater significance that impacts a broader swathe of the population. In addition to a story of post-high-school malaise, it’s quietly one of the smartest films ever made about how we consume and appraise pop culture.
