The Phantom Carriage

AroView: Impeccable Swedish silent film from Victor Sjöström following a ghostly carriage as it takes a man’s soul on a journey following his death on New Year’s Eve, forcing him to reflect on his wasted, selfish life.

Notable for being a profound influence on Ingmar Bergman, this is cinematic perfection in its own right, with ground-breaking special effects and sophisticated narrative structure.
