A good-natured and colourful French-Belgian comedy – based on Oscar Wilde's much-adapted short story – The Canterville Ghost (Le Fantome de Canterville) features an amusingly ghoulish performance by Audrey Fleurot as Aliénor de Canterville, a long-dead sword-wielding ghost who has to join forces with the new owners of her castle (a peppy urban family who ignore her ghostly antics) when their shared home is threatened by developers. A breezy and funny comedy romp as her haunting skills are used to full effect. (Edinburgh International Film Festival)
