The Lighthouse is a masterpiece of surrealist cinema.
The acting is superb. Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe play two lighthouse keepers who slowly descend into madness on a remote island. They deliver their lines with such intensity and emotion that you can't help but feel their isolation and paranoia.
The cinematography is stunning. The movie is shot in black and white, with a 1.19:1 aspect ratio, creating a claustrophobic and eerie atmosphere. The camera angles and movements are also very creative and expressive, capturing the beauty and horror of the island.
The movie is full of symbolism, metaphors, and references to mythology and literature.
Fans of surrealist cinema will love this movie. 5/5.
