n an inspired opening, Ghost World begins with a montage from a 1960s Bollywood video and voyeuristic shots of the neighbours of the eponymous suburban town. This is teenage angst taken beyond the realms of the pure sexual frustration of American Pie, onto the level of displacement. Just what lies in store for two girls after school has finished? Enid and Rebecca mull over life, love and the weird and wonderful inhabitants of the small town of Ghost World. But while Rebecca attempts to 'grow up' by getting a job and an apartment, Enid is forced into summer Art School and begins a friendship with the sad loner Seymour, who has more of a relationship with his seven-inches than the human race. The girls' relationship begins to strain and as the story progresses Rebecca appears in both Enid's life and the film, less and less. Starring Thora Birch, Scarlett Johansson and Steve Buscemi.
