Review of Phantom (1922) by Madeline M — 24 Nov 2009
I don't think this movie ever knew what it wanted to do, which is weird because usually I think Murnau has a very definite plan and then he does it, with excellent style. But here . . . it seems like a domestic drama or personal tragedy, but without any of the emotional truth or power of Sunrise.
I guess it needed to be more creative? Probably Alfred Abel was a poor choice for this role, too.
