Windswept, isolated and desolate...
“The Lighthouse” uses a real-life incident as the jumping-off point for an excursion into the effects of claustrophobia and paranoia on a pair of lighthouse keepers. Ephraim Winslow (Robert Pattinson) and the older Thomas Wake (Willem Dafoe) arrive by ship for a four-week stint looking after and maintaining a remote lighthouse. Their relationship doesn’t go well from the start. Wake assigns all the grunt work — cleaning the cistern, stoking a coal furnace, and scrubbing the cabin they share next to the lighthouse —to Winslow, who is resentful but dutifully obeys. Wake is given to angry outbursts and even toys with the younger man’s feelings, trying to provoke him. But Winslow bites his tongue and counts the days until they are relieved and he can be free of both the island and the unpleasant Wake.<br /><br />While Wake talks non-stop and favors whiskey, Winslow is tight-lipped and isn’t a drinker. When drunk, Wake shows more humanity and a sense of humor as he encourages Winslow to talk about himself. When cold sober, however, Wake is capable of incessant cruelties. Winslow is subjected to psychological and physical torture at the hands of Wake but accepts his lot and looks forward to collecting his salary when his month-long misery is ended and he can move on with his life.<br /><br />When a great storm rages, the ship carrying their relief crew cannot brave the sea and the two men must remain on the rock alone indefinitely, listening to the sounds of the pounding sea and regular blasts of the foghorn. As times passes, only whiskey eases the loneliness and despair. Their minds start playing tricks, and visions appear to Winslow in the form of a stranded mermaid. They go mad slowly, gradually, until all reason and sense of civility have completely evaporated.<br /><br />Directed by Robert Eggers and beautifully filmed in black and white by Jarin Blaschke, “The Lighthouse” was shot in an aspect ratio of 1.19:1, the most commonly used ratio in the silent film era, to create a nearly square screen image. The confined image enhances the claustrophobic nature of the story and emphasizes the physical limitations the men are subjected to. The monochrome cinematography reduces the setting to a dismal, bleak location, and features dramatic use of shadows on the men’s faces. The filmmaking style is reminiscent of German expressionism and 1930s Universal horror films. Not a traditional horror movie, “The Lighthouse” explores existential horror, as the absence of normal society causes Wake and Winslow to lose their sanity.<br /><br />Director Eggers eventually shifts gears so that we’re not quite sure what we’re witnessing as he sets up a skewed reality that differs significantly from what we’ve seen. What is real and what is hallucination?<br /><br />A two-character movie is difficult to sustain for close to two hours, but Dafoe and Pattinson are both riveting. Their characters are opposites in almost every way. Ephraim is a refined, taciturn teetotaler, Wake a vulgar, garrulous drunk. Dafoe has the more flamboyant role, as his Wake lords it over Winslow with devilish pleasure. His personal hygiene is disgusting, he demands complete loyalty, and he uses his seniority over Winslow as a weapon to keep him subservient. Wake makes the rules and will brook no insubordination.<br /><br />Pattinson’s Winslow is very quiet in the early section of the film, reacting mostly through his expressions and body language. He has a long fuse, which creates considerable suspense. He’s pushed so hard by Wake, we know he’s bound to crack, but when will that occur and how? Scenes of Winslow alone, doing hard chores, reveal him as strong and determined to make good no matter the task. He lugs a heavy canister of oil up the winding stairs of the lighthouse, only to be told by Wake, who offers no assistance, that he should have used a lighter can and orders him to take the canister back down.<br /><br />Rated R, “The Lighthouse” spends its first half establishing a tiresome routine, building tension tighter and tighter until it seems less and less likely that Wake and Winslow will be able to make it to the end of their tenure without severe violence. This brooding exercise in neo-Gothic gloom offers a mesmerizing, ferocious acting duel that’s likely to be remembered when Oscar nominations are considered.<br /><br />Bonus materials on the Blu-ray release include the featurette “The Lighthouse: A Dark & Stormy Tale,” deleted scenes, and audio commentary with director/co-writer Robert Eggers.
