The Phantom Carriage (Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] Reviews

Victor Sjöström was a filmmaker of longstanding repute, acting in films from 1912 until his death in 1960 and with a directorial career that spanned both the silent and sound eras. The Phantom Carriage is one of his most widely praised films combining a supernatural tale with a rather modest domestic morality drama very much a part of its era. For its time, the special effects are striking and most evocative, and Sjöström manages to make what could have been a wildly melodramatic exercise in maudlin sentiment into a noble and earnest family drama.
