Involving a storm, a small bit of cabin fever and a touch of lovecraftian mermaid mythos... comes 2019’s feature The Lighthouse directed by Robert Eggers written in part by Maxwell Eggers originally loosely based off of Edgar Allan Poe’s last known bit of writing of basically the same name. Taking out the elements of Poe This film follows two men one older one younger played by Robert Pattinson and William Dafoe in some very different roles... Cut off from the public during the storm psychological and about the downward spiral and the madness that follows... when reality gets mixed with loneliness, greed And blatant disrespect of nature... Filmed in black-and-white like The Witch which is Robert Eggers previous feature as it is slow in its pacing so it will not entirely be a film for everyone you’ll either love it or hate it but I prefer things that are in black-and-white over color for to me it breathes an atmosphere And latitude of another time In moments but I also feel like Robert Pattinson certainly shed by now his almost laughable sparkled-Sparkly Vampire renown role to this ragamuffin rough look hewn to his character as well as William Dafoe’s craggy pirate captain-ish look as well stellar performances by both... plus turn up the sound as you experience the films awesome sounds the film is eerie and well shot I actually think this film is better than The Witch I’m glad that I picked this film up I recommend it for other people as well and wonder what others think about the film...
