The wonderful Actress and Comedian Rose Matafeo (Starstruck, Baby Done) makes her return to The Prince Charles Cinema stage to present another one of her favourite films. This time it's Terry Zwigoff's 2001 black-comedy adaptation of the Daniel Clowes graphic novel, starring Thora Birch, Scarlett Johansson and Steve Buscemi.

About her selection, Rose Matafeo had this to say:
 

"Were you ever compared to Enid Coleslaw as a teenager in the mid 2000s? You may be eligible for compensation! 

I'm truly excited to be back at the Prince Charles introducing one of my favourites, 2001's cult hit GHOST WORLD - a film which inspired a whole generation of slightly alt kids to dye their hair weekly, change their glasses every hour and wear mini skirts/t-shirt combo almost exclusively.

P.S. I think Steve Buscemi is hot in this film and I can't go into it right now, we can talk about it later."

----------------------------


High school graduate Enid (Birch) is a non-conformist who rejects the superficial world she sees around her in L.A. but is a lost soul. With the support of her best friend Rebecca (Johansson), Enid answers a newspaper classified, pretending to be the woman sought by eccentric record collector Seymour (Buscemi) and an unexpected friendship between the two blossoms.
