A Ghost Story

“A Ghost Story practically glows with mystery and possibility, pushing through the outer limits of its storytelling constraints as it meditates on legacy, romantic connection, time itself, and the value we place on the spaces we occupy.” (A.V. Club)

A recently deceased man (Academy Award winner Casey Affleck, Manchester by the Sea) returns to the world of the living as a ghost. Shrouded in a white sheet, he makes his way back to his suburban home to console his grief-stricken wife (Rooney Mara, Lion) only to find that in his spectral state he can only bear witness to her sorrow. He is forced to observe solemnly as the life he knew and the woman he loves slip away. As time hurtles forward, the ghost embarks on a cosmic journey through memory and history, confronting the enormity of existence while confined to the home he left behind. Acclaimed filmmaker David Lowery (Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, Pete’s Dragon) returns with an unforgettable meditation on love and grief; an experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
