SummaryGhostlight is a hilarious albeit affectionate film about Martha Graham - one of the twentieth century's greatest dancers and choreographers.

When a 6-foot-tall man is playing your emotionally delicate heroine, a little subtlety goes a long way.

It's hard to imagine anyone who isn't familiar with Graham and her place in 20th-century dance history getting drawn into Move and Herrmann's hall of Martha mirrors, but for the right viewer it's a fascinating exercise in self-reflexive mythmaking.
