This is a film that happened exactly 100 years ago, at the beginning of the 20th century, Europe had entered the age of electrification, and all industries were influenced by science. The movie is no exception. Although "Ghost Carriage" is adapted from a novel, director Victor Sjostrom used some technical means of photography, as well as rich film language and expression...
