Jamie Marks is Dead, Carter Smith's film adaptation of Christopher Barzak's novel One for Sorrow.
It's one of those films that redefines a genre (in this case, the ghost story) and it's also gorgeously photographed.
I have a thing for novelistic and filmic adaptations which center around the idea of the "hungry ghost." And this film does that theme to perfection. There's much poetry to be had here.
The film has received generally positive if lukewarm reviews, but I look for it to grow a cult following with time.
This film was so much better than the spate of Oscar nominated films I watched lately, which largely bored me to tears.
