It seems only natural that eccentric underground director Terry Zwigoff would follow up his acclaimed documentary of eccentric underground cartoonist R. Crumb with an adaptation of an eccentric underground comic book. But Ghost World is more than an adaptation--it truly looks and feels as if the pages of Daniel Clowes' 1990s teen alienation anthology have come alive. Thora Birch and Scarlett Johansson star as two misanthropic out-crowd teenage girls who drift apart after graduating high school into a loathsome, nondescript semi-suburban world of Starbucks and strip malls. Birch is pitch-perfect in her sardonic, anti-social waywardness, as is Steve Buscemi as an older geek and kindred outcast Birch befriends. Anything but a pat depiction of adolescent aimlessness or angst, this intelligent examination of the frustration borne of setting out on the road to self-discovery and coming to a dead end represents an extraordinary 180-degree turn from the kind of romanticized, sexualized, pat-on-the-head assembly-line teenager flicks cranked out several times a year in Hollywood. Recommended. (R. Blackwelder Copyright 2003 Video Librarian Reviews
