Episode 70 of One Week Only! This week's key film is "A Ghost Story," which is easily one of the best films of the year. A moving fable about the loneliness of eternity, we follow a ghost as he haunts his house and watches people come and go as time passes him by. Embracing the classic bed-sheet ghost costume, Casey Affleck's phantom drifts from scene to scene, a striking, solitary figure lost in a constantly changing world that has forgotten him. Director David Lowery has crafted a deeply powerful meditation on life and loss, the tragic nature of existence, and the inevitability of change. Now Playing in New York and Los Angeles, it's a must see. (28:05)
We also review the powerful documentary "City of Ghosts" about the war in Syria, directed by Matthew Heineman (8:05); and the whimsical slapstick comedy "Lost in Paris" directed by & starring Fiona Gordon & Dominique Abel (20:10).
