Review of The Phantom Carriage (1921) by Charles P — 13 Aug 2015
3: This is definitely the first Swedish film from 1920 that I've seen on Blu-Ray. It is in very good shape. It's really pretty impressive, especially the ghostly scenes with the carriage of death.
The story isn't all that spectacular though. It's a fairly plotting and sentimental tale of life gone wrong essentially. An interesting piece of film history, but not terribly entertaining, at least in my current state of mind.
It gets three stars simply because it is such a beautiful, sophisticated, and moving Swedish film that was made in 1920. Impressive, but it can't hold a candle to the likes of Griffith. However, this films are chock full of action whereas this is about redemption and introspection.
