Ghost World

A touching ode to teen angst. As Enid, an 18-year-old who greets life with a withering sarcasm (she rolls her eyes the way other people breathe), Thora Birch paints a vivid portrait of a disaffected teen. But Ghost World offers more than witty putdowns, especially when Enid finally drops her armor of cynicism with the help of an oddball record
collector played by Steve Buscemi. With a young Scarlett Johansson; directed by Terry Zwigoff.
