The ghosts within…
Watching Ghostworld sparked off a flood of emotions on an uneventful dusky evening while I lay on that blood red bean bag pitying the world and mocking myself.
Mohammad Rafi made the pathetic coagulated hours flow more freely. I wasn’t surprised for he has always managed to do that with an amazing consistency over the years; but certainly that was the last place I had hoped to bump into him.
The movie Ghostworld itself was a coming home of sorts, reliving the past life and awaiting the doomed future that’s in wait. The relatable movie and the groovy track though managed to bring me back from the dark reverie and land me on the shores of sanity. Thora Birch has given a performance of a lifetime and Scarlett Johansson hasn’t portrayed a more life like character (with the exception of Lost in Translation of course). Steve Buscemi is his usual eccentric and lovable self.
I bet one can’t help falling in love with ‘Skip’ James‘ Devil got my woman song.
Watch the gyrating opening credits here.
