"The Phantom Carriage" is a 1921 Swedish silent film directed by Victor Sjöström. The story revolves around a man named David Holm, who encounters a mysterious carriage that collects the souls of the dead. As he faces his own mortality, the film explores themes of redemption and the consequences of one's actions. The film is notable for its innovative use of special effects, particularly the double exposure technique, which creates ghostly images. It is based on the 1912 novel "Körkarlen" by Selma Lagerlöf, who was the first female writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
