F. W. Murnau’s PHANTOM (1922) presented by Silents, Please! STL

June 8, 2022 : 8:30 pm

This film is presented by Silents, Please! STL and will feature a special introduction from SPSTL’s Kate Stewart!

It came from the hand of F. W. Murnau and premiered in 1922, the same year as the director’s legendary Nosferatu, a Symphony of Horror, so one might assume that the ominously titled Phantom is a horror film. But…one would be wrong. Phantom is a psychological drama with detours into delusion and delirium that destabilize the protagonist without scaring the audience all that much. Phantom is a fitting title for a story in which emotions are ruthless, motivations are slippery, and identity itself is dauntingly hard to pin down. This isn’t exactly horror, but parts of it border on nightmare. -Cineaste
