The Lighthouse is a psychological thriller directed by Robert Eggers and starring Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson. The film follows two lighthouse keepers, Thomas Wake (Dafoe) and Ephraim Winslow (Pattinson), who are tasked with maintaining a lighthouse on a remote island off the coast of New England in the 1890s.
The film's cinematography is shot in black and white with a 1.19:1 aspect ratio, giving it a vintage, almost claustrophobic feel. The two men are isolated from the rest of the world, and as their time on the island progresses, things begin to unravel.
Thomas Wake is an experienced lighthouse keeper who takes his duties very seriously and demands that Ephraim carry out his assigned tasks to the letter. Ephraim, on the other hand, is a young and inexperienced man who is hiding something from his past.
As the two men spend more time together on the island, they begin to distrust and even hate each other. They also start to experience strange hallucinations and dreams, which become more vivid and horrifying as the story progresses.
The film is a study in psychological horror, exploring themes of isolation, madness, and obsession. The Lighthouse is a visually stunning and thought-provoking film that will both challenge and entertain audiences.
