Visually striking, haunting and sharply funny, A Useful Ghost is a wildly inventive tale and unlike anything else you’ll see this year.

Director Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke plays with form and tone in a bold and genre-defying debut that won the top prize at Critics’ Week at this year's Cannes Film Festival. When Nat unexpectedly returns from the dead as a vacuum cleaner, she tries to reconnect with her husband, to the dismay of her in-laws. Beneath its surreal premise, the film explores Thai history, grief, and usefulness.

"A Useful Ghost is an absurd, queer, genre-bender that will leave you belly-laughing, teary-eyed, and utterly mesmerized." — Andrew Pankey, The Queer Review
