‘Ghost Boy’ Review: Rodney Ascher’s Doc Is An Extraordinary Story Of Human Resilience – SXSW

Like Alexandre O. Philippe, Rodney Ascher is a director who pushes the interpretive limits of what a documentary can do, something he made abundantly clear with his 2012 film Room 237. Named after the mysterious hotel suite in The Shining, this festival favorite gave a platform to some of the most bizarre readings of Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 horror imaginable. The theories raised ranged from the esoteric to the ridiculous, but Ascher’s straightforward, non-judgmental approach proved surprisingly effective; though it has long been debunked, the fanciful thought that Kubrick made the film to exorcize his guilt about faking the moon landing footage in 1969 is enticing and still hard to shake off.

‘Ghost Boy’ Director on Why He Wanted to Tell Martin Pistorius’ Story: It Was About ‘Human Connection’

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor “Ghost Boy” director Rodney Ascher first learned about Martin Pistorius through the NPR podcast “Invisibilia.” “I remember hearing the story and thinking, ‘This is the kind of story that I would like to tell.’” The producers of the documentary, premiering Friday at SXSW, reached out to Ascher. They felt the same way: Pistorius’ story about a 12-year-old South African boy who emerges from a vegetative state with no memories, unable to move or speak, but all too aware of his surroundings, needed to be told. Ascher was keen to pursue the story.
