10 Movies That Influenced 'A Ghost Story'6 of 10
'Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du commerce, 1080 Bruxelles' (1975)
"Jeanne Dielman... is a film that is focused almost entirely on mundane activities. We watch a woman go through her daily rituals over and over again. The cumulative effects of all these quotidian activities is monumental and really impressive. I wanted A Ghost Story to function in a similar way. I wanted to cast a spell over the audience, not with anything overt, but with the sheer mundanity."
