Captured live over the course of GHOST’s two sold-out shows in Mexico City last year, 2 BIG TO RIG is the definitive document of the band's unforgettable SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR, presented in IMAX® in select locations. Featuring the only pro-shot footage of Papa V Perpetua and his band of Nameless Ghouls from the phone-free SKELETOUR, 2 BIG TO RIG immerses the audience in the GHOST live ritual, including exclusive behind-the-scenes and backstage access. 2 BIG TO RIG was created to share the SKELETOUR experience with the faithful in the territories where staging the show was not logistically feasible — and is a love letter to all those who have shared the GHOST ritual. Shot on 16mm film, GHOST has never looked or sounded better, ripping through material from the band's six albums — including 2025’s global #1 SKELETÁ as well as non-LP favorites including “Mary On A Cross,” “Kiss the Go-Goat,” and “The Future is a Foreign Land.”

IMDb 8.1 Numéro zéro
OV · OmU
A family portrait in which the director profiles his grandmother, Odette Robert. Eustache includes in the film the conditions of its production — he is seated at the table with her, pours her some whiskey, speaks with the camera operator, manipulates the clapboard at the head and tail of the reels, and even takes a phone call. Robert, who was seventy-one, speaks rapidly and tells the story of her life, starting from her early childhood in villages in the Bordeaux region of France. A shorter version of the film ("Odette Robert") was edited in 1980 to be broadcast on television on TF1. The complete film only gained exposure in 2002, when it was salvaged by Boris Eustache, Thierry Lounas, João Bénard da Costa, Jean-Marie Straub, and Pedro Costa.
