I at last bought spherical to watching The Lighthouse the assorted week, or, as my fundamental other later joked it may perhaps well perchance well perhaps had been called, Idea How Fair Willem Dafoe is at Performing. It’s a truly absorbing film that sticks Dafoe and Robert Pattinson collectively and lets the two of them appropriate of rush at it, to an increasing sort of wild results.
As absorbing as it all is to search for, I came away feeling delight in the film didn’t rather know what it desired to claim. The film is packed with symbolism and references to fantasy, however the memoir doesn’t give us a lens by which to realize any of it. It all ends up seeming delight in a bunch of strategies thrown at the wall to supply us some cool stuff to assume, without any proper which arrangement within the abet of it.
The last film I noticed earlier than The Lighthouse became Portrait of a Lady on Fire, and that film has a technique or the opposite helped me make the most of sense of it. Both films are about two folks stranded collectively on an island who slowly grow extra originate with every other over the route of the memoir. In Lady, it’s two ladies folks, and the characters slowly indicate themselves to 1 another and make a fashionable, neutral correct-looking out relationship within the midst of. In Lighthouse, it’s two males, and they also rush nuts and beat every assorted into oblivion. Perchance that’s the level.
