Ghost World is a 2001 coming-of-age comedy-drama film directed by Terry Zwigoff and based on the graphic novel of the same name by Daniel Clowes. The story follows two teenage outcasts, the sardonic Enid (Thora Birch) and her introverted best friend Rebecca (Scarlett Johansson), who are struggling to navigate life after high school graduation.
Enid and Rebecca are disillusioned with their small town and the people around them, and they spend their days mocking and critiquing the world they see. They decide to play a prank on Seymour (Steve Buscemi), an eccentric record collector they see in a classified ad, but Enid becomes intrigued by him when they meet, and the two strike up an unlikely friendship.
As Enid and Seymour's relationship deepens, Rebecca becomes jealous and feels left out. Their friendship becomes strained and ultimately falls apart, as the girls begin to pursue their own paths in life. Enid takes a job at a movie theater and starts dating an older man, while Rebecca enrolls in a summer art course and begins dating a boy from their high school.
Ghost World explores themes of teen angst, disillusionment, and the search for identity. It is known for its dry wit, memorable characters, and quirky style. The film was critically acclaimed and has since become a cult classic.
