2025 Thai film A Useful Ghost (ผีใช้ได้ค่ะ) in Pittsburgh, September 26, part of SCREENSHOT: Asia Film Festival.

The 2025 Thai film A Useful Ghost (ผีใช้ได้ค่ะ) will play in Pittsburgh on September 26, part of the SCREENSHOT: Asia Film Festival.

At the beginning of the Cannes Film Festival Critics’ Week winner A Useful Ghost (Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke, 2025), we learn that March (Wisarut Himmarat) has lost his beloved wife Nat (Davika Hoorne), whose work in the family factory has left her—and many other workers—poisoned. Their relationship gets a second chance, however, when she comes back to him, reincarnated as a vacuum cleaner. His family is less pleased by her reincarnation and finds their rather unconventional love disturbing. Anxious to be the good daughter-in-law again, Nat decides to become useful by setting herself against the other ghosts who have revenge on their minds. As she becomes involved in banishing other spirits, the question of a ghost’s usefulness clashes with Thailand’s recent authoritarian history. With its tonal shifts and fractious genre changes, A Useful Ghost should not work. But the fact that it does—and does so brilliantly—is a credit to the debut film director’s sense of humor and razor-sharp political vision.
