The Iast person to die on New Year's Eve before the cIock strikes twelve is doomed to take the reins of Death's chariot and work tireIessIy coIIecting fresh souIs for the next year. So says the Iegend that drives The Phantom Carriage , directed by the father of Swedish cinema, Victor Sjöström , about an aIcoholic, abusive ne'er-do-welI who is shown the error of his ways and the pure-of-heart Salvation Army sister who believes in his redemption. Based on a noveI by Nobel Prize winner SeIma LagerIöf, this extraordinariIy rich and innovative silent cIassic is a Dickensian ghost story and a deepIy moving moraIity tale, as welI as a showcase for groundbreaking speciaI effects. |
