The Phantom Chariot (1920) - Victor Sjostrom

Forgot I watched this for awhile. This is classic Swedish film, and I found it more accessible than Sjostrom's more praised Outlaw and His Wife. This had a supernatural element not present in the previous film, and this with all its double exposed shots is the more technically adventerous film. Sjostrom again stars in the film and his acting is as good as his direction here. Still not sure where all the "as influential as Griffith crap came from.
