Casey Affleck as C sitting behind Rooney Mara as M in emA Ghost Story/em
The Big Picture A Ghost Story is a literal haunting and mesmerizing story of grief. Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara play lovers, who are planning to move in together when tragedy strikes and “C” is killed in a car accident. “M” visits the morgue and tenderly covers C’s body with a sheet. From under the sheet, he is resurrected as a ghost, never removing the sheet throughout the film. As he returns to the home that they shared, he witnesses his lover’s grieving process, while experiencing his own.
Release Date April 24, 2017 Director David Lowery Cast Rooney Mara , Casey Affleck Runtime 87 mins Rooney Mara Eats an Entire Pie in Real Time in 'A Ghost Story' M’s most profound moment of grief comes in A Ghost Story’s memorable pie-eating scene. M sniffles her way through devouring almost an entire pie in real time, over four-and-a-half minutes, until she runs to the bathroom to throw it up.
The Pie Scene Has a Deeper Meaning to the Movie Close The actual pie itself allows M’s grief to be represented by something tangible and physical. "I wanted a representation of grief that we haven't seen before ... that felt unique and uncomfortable and profound," says Lowery. "I thought about how sometimes, when I'm upset, I just eat a lot. I thought that would be a really powerful image.
