Description
A viewing of 'The Lighthouse' at UWA Somerville for Perth Festival
From visionary filmmaker Robert Eggers comes the hypnotic and hallucinatory tale of two Victorian-era lighthouse keepers (Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson) stuck together on a jagged windswept island. The grizzled, demonic older man provides his junior little training or guidance with his flinty banter and their increasingly drunken meals. As these sea dogs’ grog runs low and phantoms begin to beset the island, this deliciously gothic thriller becomes evermore distinctive, compelling and wild. You have never seen a film quite like The Lighthouse – a sozzled future cult classic.
‘Funny, sinister, haunting, historically fascinating and mythical … one of the best films of the year.’ THE NEW YORK TIMES
