Tonight, The Introverted Obelisk rings in the New Year with a hangover, a curse, and a carriage that never misses a pickup.
We’re heading back to 1921 for Victor Sjöström’s The Phantom Carriage — a Swedish morality tale that looks like a ghost story, drinks like a tragedy, and hits like a confession.
According to legend, the last person to die before midnight on New Year’s Eve becomes Death’s chauffeur for the next twelve months. It’s basically a temp job with eternal consequences.
Our unlucky soul, David Holm, spends one last miserable night reliving every selfish act that led him here — and the film drags us through regret, redemption, and enough existential guilt to power a Lutheran sermon.
It’s haunting, humane, and morbidly beautiful — the kind of movie that proves cinema didn’t need sound to scream.
So raise a glass, say your apologies, and check your pulse.
Because if you hear wheels in the dark tonight…that’s not a cab. That’s your ride.
