Notes
Story Synopsis:
Based upon the comic book by Daniel Clowes, Ghost World is a hysterically snide and sarcastic look at what to do with yourself after high school (other than attend college). Enid (Birch) is cynical about her future and bummed she needs to take a summer art class to get her diploma, while her best friend, Rebecca (Johansson), is going along with whatever or whoever Enid wants to torment. But when Enid finds a kindrid spirit in an oddball loner (Buscemi) more than twice her age, Rebecca becomes disgusted and feels threatened that their lifelong friendship is as over as high school! (Suzanne Hodges)
DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD exhibits pleasing images that are sharp and detailed, with good contrast and shadow delineation. Colors are rich and well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, and deep blacks. There is some pixelization, as well as edge enhancement. (Suzanne Hodges)
Soundtrack:
The Dolby® Digital 5.1-channel soundtrack is an impressive recording, with effective spatial engagement. This is evident through an expansive, immersive soundfield presence with primarily the music, which has been nicely recorded and exhibits a tasteful, fairly satisfying low-end foundation. The dialogue sounds slightly close-up in nature and slightly detached in terms of spatial integration, yet can be characterized by voices with natural-sounding tonality. Dimensionality is general is subtle to moderate in nature, yet this attribute belies its effectiveness for this soundtrack production. The deep bass content is quite reserved, but reasonably matched to the nature of this film. (Perry Sun)
