The Lighthouse Storyline

As the wavering cry of the foghorn fills the air, the taciturn former lumberjack, Ephraim Winslow, and the grizzled lighthouse keeper, Thomas Wake, set foot in a secluded and perpetually grey islet off the coast of late-19th-century New England. For the following four weeks of back-breaking work and unfavourable conditions, the tight-lipped men will have no one else for company except for each other, forced to endure irritating idiosyncrasies, bottled-up resentment, and burgeoning hatred. Then, amid bad omens, a furious and unending squall maroons the pale beacon’s keepers in the already inhospitable volcanic rock, paving the way for a prolonged period of feral hunger; excruciating agony; manic isolation, and horrible booze-addled visions. Now, the eerie stranglehold of insanity tightens. Is there an escape from the wall-less prison of the mind?

The Lighthouse Movie Reviews

More an experience than comprehensible movie.

“The Lighthouse” is one of the strangest films I’ve ever seen. Describing it or even knowing whether or not I liked it is pretty difficult. Suffice to say, it was is a very, very unique movie…one that is quite haunting and difficult.

The story is set in the late 19th century and a lighthouse keeper (Willem Dafoe) and his assistant (Rob Pattinson) arrive at the facility for their tour of duty. At first, things seem pretty mundane, though over time they both seem to be losing their minds…Pattinson’s character in particular. Where it goes from there is ugly, disturbing and weird.

This is definitely NOT a film for everyone. In fact, I’d go so far as to say most people probably would not like the film….and fewer yet would really enjoy it. But it also is a wholly original viewing experience and I can respect the folks who made it. The acting is good….and it feels much like peeking inside the mind of a madman. Overall, not enjoyable but also pretty amazing.

Misses the mark

THE LIGHTHOUSE is the latest spooky old lighthouse story which takes the true story of a mysterious disappearance in the late 19th century and uproots it to New England, where Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson are well cast as a couple of lighthouse keepers going out of their minds. I’ve seen numerous screen adaptations of this story in recent years, the best being the low budget monster flick COLD SKIN, but this one’s a real bore by comparison. It’s made by the guy who did THE WITCH – which I enjoyed, to a degree – and is a typical arthouse movie with zero storyline and close attention to stylistics and histrionic acting over any kind of depth. I found it a slog to sit through, an endless array of intense performances combined with a lack of narrative cohesion, structure, and storyline. The old “going mad” plot has been done to death and this adds nothing new, although Dafoe and Pattinson are good and it has a nice look to it at least.

gets too crazy

Two lighthouse keepers arrive at an isolated island for a four week stint. Newcomer Thomas Howard (Robert Pattinson) is a former Canadian lumberjack. Thomas Wake (Willem Dafoe) is an one-legged veteran seafarer. Howard has to do all the heavy duties, dreams of a mermaid, and hounded by a seagull. Demanding Wake warns him of various superstitions.

The first notable thing is the black and white photography with 1.19:1 aspect ratio. It is reminiscent of old timey movies dating back to the silent era. It fits very well with the mood and the setting. I like this up to the over-drinking. After that, the story gets crazier and crazier. I was expecting it to go supernatural. I can take some interspecies erotica. The Brokeback stuff comes out of nowhere. It becomes too experimental. The madness of the lighthouse booze is too much. The craziness dampens my enthusiasm a little bit.
