The Lighthouse (I) (2019)
10/10
A raging tempest that will leave you stirred
25 October 2019
A nutty blend of Persona and Hour of the Wolf, with seamless performances, outstanding camera work, and thought-provoking allegory to Greek mythology and biblical parables. Slow boil Vigo & Buñuelian visuals, shot like a silent film, but with impeccable soundstage. Atmosphere that ranges from an isolated paranoid terror to a cartoonishly drunken stupor, as we spend the full runtime suspended in the split second feeling of losing our grip on the side rail.

Robert Eggers has handcrafted a raging tempest. It'll leave you stirred, with just a little bit less of your own sanity.
