"John Maringouin’s first documentary feature, Running Stumbled, was praised by Michael Tully as “a startling achievement” and “one of the stronger anti-drug pieces of cinema that has ever been made”; when it screened at the CineVegas Film Festival in 2006, Variety’s Robert Koehler favorably compared Stumbled to Tarnation. Now Maringouin is back with a second non-fiction feature, Big River Man, which premieres on Friday in the World Documentary competition at Sundance.

Sure, the employment of ghosts in a narrative may also be evidence of laziness, as the device is just as much a convenience as it is a useful tool for storytellers. Not everyone can be Shakespeare, and of course there is a lot of redundancy and (excuse the pun) lifelessness in the majority of movies involving ghosts. However, ghosts can also be highly representative and/or serve a film on a deeper level than the surface story. To use another pun, ghost movies are not always so transparent.
