10 Movies That Influenced 'A Ghost Story'5 of 10
'Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives' (2010)
"This is a film that takes a very handmade approach to its representation of ghosts and spirits. Sometimes they appear as transparent figures at a table. Other times, the spirit manifests itself as an actor in a gorilla suit with glowing LED eyes. The idea that [director] Apichatpong Weerasethakul could take such a goofy image and make it mysterious and moving was a great source of inspiration on me. In A Ghost Story, we try to take a goofy Halloween costume and render it mysterious."
