Legend goes that the last person to die on New Years' Eve becomes the Coachman in charge of collecting the souls of the dead until someone else takes their place in this nefarious task. The Phantom Carriage is a silent-film from what is known as the Golden Era of Swedish cinema. Directer and Starred by Victor Sjostrom, this classic is a masterclass in special effects and spectral superimposition with the most beautiful soundtrack by Matti Bye.
