Ghost World (2001)

Staff Picks Series Every month a member of the Moxie staff picks a film that impacted their lives and we put it up on the big screen. **November’s pick was made by Ellen Neville.** _"I first found this film after I read Daniel Clowes' graphic novel Ghost World as a teenager. I was slowly accepting my outsider, art-kid destiny, and Daniel Clowes' books introduced me to what would become my favorite book genre. I love Enid's (Thora Birch) sarcastic sense of humor, her sense of style, and the strange people she attracts. I wanted to share it because it's a coming of age film about a very specific type of nonconforming teenager. Also the music is great!"_ **Free for Members** Synopsis: Based on the well-known comic, Ghost World tells the story of neo-cool Enid (Birch) and Rebecca (Johansson) who, faced with high school graduation take a hard look at the world they wryly observe and decide what they really want.
