There are constants in the work of Victor Sjöström, a major figure in film history both behind and in front of the camera. One is the seeming always present sense of death. Sometimes, death might come in the form of disease or a sudden, violent mishap; or sometimes, a character in a film might depict death, or in the case of The Phantom Carriage, death’s servant. At the conclusion of most all his films, viewers are confronted by tragedy, some form of resignation, or noble self-sacrifice.

The last person to die on New Year’s Eve before the clock strikes twelve is doomed to take the reins of Death’s chariot and work tirelessly collecting fresh souls for the next year. So says the legend that drives The Phantom Carriage (Körkarlen), directed by the father of Swedish cinema, Victor Sjöström. The story, based on a novel by Nobel Prize winner Selma Lagerlöf, concerns an alcoholic, abusive ne’er-do-well (Sjöström himself) who is shown the error of his ways, and the pure-of-heart Salvation Army sister who believes in his redemption. This extraordinarily rich and innovative silent classic (which inspired Ingmar Bergman to make movies) is a Dickensian ghost story and a deeply moving morality tale, as well as a showcase for groundbreaking special effects.

In 2012, Sweden’s leading film review magazine, FLM, asked its readers to vote for the best Swedish film of all time. The Phantom Carriage (Swedish: Körkarlen), released in 1921, was the winner.The silent film, a dramatization of Selma Lagerlöf’s novel from 1912, is widely seen as the pinnacle of the career of the great star Victor Sjöström, as both actor and director. Even without dialogue, Sjöström and a cast that included Astrid Holm, Hilda Borgström and Tore Svennberg created and conveyed a humanitarian message and drew the audience into the drama. There are a number of notable details about the film. It was the first to be filmed at the brand-new studio in Råsunda during the summer of 1920 and it was assigned production number 1.

The reputation of The Phantom Carriage (Körkarlen) as one of the major films of Swedish silent cinema is in some respects securely established. Yet the film has attracted surprisingly little detailed discussion. It may be that its most striking stylistic features have deflected or discouraged closer scrutiny. Tom Gunning, for instance, in making the case for Sjöström’s Masterman, argues that ‘Körkarlen wears its technique on its sleeve, overtly displays its unquestionable mastery of superimposition and complex narrative structure. Mästerman tucks its mastery of editing and composition up its sleeve, so to speak’. This article makes an argument for a different evaluation of The Phantom Carriage, bringing a critical and interpretative understanding of the film’s style into conversation with the historical accounts of film form which predominate in the scholarship around silent cinema. It suggests that the film achieves ‘mastery of editing and composition’ with a flexibility and fluidity in the construction of dramatic space that is in itself remarkable for its period, but that Sjöström’s achievements extend well beyond his handling of film space. Specifically, it discusses a segment which is in several respects at the heart of the film: the first meeting between the two central characters, David Holm (Victor Sjöström) and Sister Edit (Astrid Holm); it spans the film’s exact mid-point; and at almost twelve and a half minutes it is the longest uninterrupted passage to take p...

Decades prior to his iconic role as Dr. Isak Borg in Ingmar Bergman’s 1957 Wild Strawberries, Victor Sjöström played the lead as one of the greatest film directors of Sweden’s golden age of silent cinema. Between 1912 and 1922, he directed, and often starred in, more than forty Swedish films, including Terje Vigen (A Man There Was; 1917), Klostret I Sendomir (The Monastery of Sendomir; 1919), and his 1921 masterwork Körkarlen (The Phantom Carriage), which has been digitally restored and released on Blu-ray by the Criterion Collection.
