Synopsis

Ghost World (2001) is a cult comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. High school is over, and best friends Enid and Rebecca have no plans to join the adult world they spend all day mocking.

While their classmates pack for college, the two drift around town, sizing up every dork and phony in sight. As a joke, Enid answers a lonely-hearts ad and reels in Seymour, a fussy middle-aged record collector stuck in his own routines. Then the prank backfires: she actually likes him. Her bond with Rebecca starts to fray, and for the first time Enid has no idea who she is or where she's headed. Thora Birch, Steve Buscemi and a young Scarlett Johansson play it completely straight.

Director Terry Zwigoff adapted Daniel Clowes' graphic novel, and the screenplay landed an Oscar nomination. Green hair dye, vinyl crates, sun-bleached diners — a sharp portrait of teenage boredom and the dread of growing up, with no easy lessons. Stream Ghost World (2001) online on iFILM.
