From Robert Eggers, the mastermind behind the critically acclaimed films The Witch and The Northman, comes The Lighthouse, an enigmatic and surreal narrative of two men on the brink of losing their sanity.
Two lighthouse keepers, one a seasoned veteran (Willem Dafoe) and the other an inexperienced newcomer (Robert Pattinson), embark on a month-long mission to maintain a lighthouse situated on a remote island off the coast of New England in the 1890s. However, as they grapple with solitude and personal differences, both men gradually succumb to their inner demons and the peculiar, otherworldly charm of the lighthouse itself…
With virtuoso performances by its two leads, remarkable monochromatic photography that perfectly captures the era’s essence, and interwoven with a delightfully dark sense of humour, The Lighthouse delivers an intense and claustrophobic experience unlike any other, cementing Eggers’ position as one of the most promising and intriguing filmmakers of our time.
