Victor Sjöström’s iconic film adaptation of Selma Lagerlöf’s Thy Soul Shall Bear Witness! concerns the incorrigible drunkard David Holm, appointed as the driver of Death’s carriage early on in the film. The Phantom Carriage was advanced and ground-breaking in both technical and narrative terms. Sjöström, inspired by the novel’s themes of conversion and morality, its supernatural elements and its complex narrative structure, created a filmic version with complicated flashbacks, dissolves and double and triple exposures. The acting provided by Victor Sjöström, Hilda Borgström and Astrid Holm, incredibly realistic for the time, contributed to the captivating end result.
The Phantom Carriage has long been placed in the upper echelons of the international film canon, and is considered one of the central works from the golden age of Swedish cinema, which began in 1917 with Sjöström’s A Man There Was and ended with Mauritz Stiller’s The Saga of Gösta Berling, featuring Greta Garbo.

Grounds for decision | Framställningen innehåller inslag av uppslitande stämning, våldsamheter såsom slagsmål och en man som slår sönder en dörr med en yxa inför fru och barn. Filmen saknar ljud, utöver musik, vilket bedöms mildra upplevelsen av de uppslitande inslagen. Spelstilen är teatral och stiliserad vilket kan minska graden av realism och identifikationen med karaktärerna. Sammantaget kan framställningen medföra stark rädsla och oro hos de yngsta och bedöms därför kunna vara till skada för barn under 7 år. |
