Review of The Phantom Carriage (1921) by David L — 14 Sep 2014

Thanks to emotional intensity, authentic story and absolutely astonishing special effects, The Phantom Carriage manages to feel otherworldly, creepy and quite atmospheric. The plot structure with flashbacks is also highly amusing and advanced.

It is incredinly engaging for a silent movie, immensely original, beautifully filmed, very influential, warm, smart, spooky and quite possibly the best film of the decade and the finest Swedish film ever.
