Phantom (1922)

 A guy is run over by a carriage and the woman riding in it comes to assist him. He becomes obsessed with that woman, who belongs to a higher social class than his. He finds a substitute in a lookalike from a lower social class. To provide for his lover's expensive cravings, our hero takes a loan from his moneylending aunt. When the latter finds out how he is spending the money, she demands it back or else.

Romantic drama with expressionistic touches. There are some dull passages but overall it's interesting and visually striking.

Note: the version I watched was approximately 120 minutes long.

Rating: 57
