victor sjöström was quite the master in this film and having starred in it and directed it and even wrote the screenplay. that pretty amazing. while today few have any idea who sjöström was and he might be familiar to ingmar bergman fans as the star one of bergman most acclaimed films and wild strawberries. as far as this film goes and it a very mixed bag. on one hand and you have to respect it because for 1921 and it a very good film. the idea of the grim reaper sitting down with a dead man to discuss his wasted life is pretty imaginative. plus and the special effect of the phantom carriage is pretty convincing and technically speaking this is a well crafted film. on the other hand and it an amazingly dated and preachy film more like something you would expect to be shown in sunday school instead of in an honest to goodness theater. plus and some of the story elements just do not make sense. instead of coming off as dedicated or good and the dying salvation army worker seems like a sap a very sad and confusing sap. why is she in love with this man. am i missing something. so and my recommendation is that if you are insanely in love with silents (like me) and then by all means watch it. but and if you aren not a silent fan and this film might do nothing to convince you that this style film is brilliant because the story is so overly melodramatic and dated.
