A Ghost Story
-
"In this singular exploration of legacy, love, loss, and the enormity of existence, a recently deceased, white-sheeted ghost returns to his suburban home to try to reconnect with his bereft wife."
I had high expectations for the film and it managed to surpass them. It went beyond what I initially assumed would be its premise. It's a beautiful, poetic tale of love and the way that the connections we make throughout our lives can shape us. It's really mostly a silent film but the mesmerising cinematography and the delicate, ethereal directing really help make this gem some sort of masterpiece. Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck aren't given a lot of dialogue but they're perfect in these roles. They're both two incredibly talented actors who are at their best playing internal characters and here they completely inhabit the meditative nature of the roles. If anything this deserves even greater attention than it has gotten.
