      resurrection

      The film's beautiful violin soundtrack and fantastic and absurd images create a surreal visual feast. The film's fictional death story is full of religious overtones.

    The Phantom Carriage quotes

    • Georges: There is an old, old carriage... It is no ordinary driver who holds the reigns, for he's in the service of a strict master named Death. For him, a single night is as long as 100 years on Earth. Night and day he must carry out his master's business.

    • Georges: There is no escape. He must perform his forlorn duty.
