In 1881 Henrik Ibsen, already one of the most celebrated dramatists of the age wrote his play 'Ghosts.' It's about someone who inherits a fatal venereal disease from his father. The subject matter was very controversial in his day as it still continues to be in ours. This is a film version directed by Malcolm Hossick of the complete text with no attempt to doctor it or turn it to propagating some other message than the story as Ibsen relates it. For some it is Ibsen's greatest play but it certainly is the work of a master playwright and it is just as gripping and absorbing for a twenty first century audience as for the folks for whom it was written.
