no problem

Black and white, particles, light and shadow, mystery... I thought it was inconspicuous, but it was actually a drama. Oppressive soundtrack, diffuse atmosphere. The gradually eroded soul is almost like a character. Too much is incorporated into a dysfunctional narrative: religion, legend, sex, power, division, cause and effect, nature, desire... High level of cooking. Clear blur, orderly chaos. There is no solution, but there are various solutions. The two contributed the best acting of the year. But Dafoe is slightly better.

    Marriage means that two people live together for a long time, and they love and kill each other; the lighthouse means that two people live together for a long time and do not love each other to kill each other.

    【Macao International Film Festival】Fantasy adult fable with strong visual impact. The whole film is in black and white, and is shot on 1.19:1 frame film that imitates the movies of the 20th to 1930s, creating a curious atmosphere of the mysterious silent films in the early days of film history. The image style is outstanding, and the big screen look and feel is extremely shocking. The mere island, lighthouse, seagulls, and the "diagonal play" of "2.5" actors not only support the whole film, but also create an epic plot chapter. Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson's amazing acting skills are like strong wine mixed with patina and dolphin blood: raw, crazy, violent, powerful, decadent, retro... swarmed and gushed out. It seems to be watching the father and son murdering each other in Greek mythology, and it is also like Pasolini's heavy mouth. Four and a half stars

The Lighthouse quotes

  • Ephraim Winslow: Goddamn your farts! You smell like piss, you smell like jism, like rotten dick, like curdled foreskin, like hot onions fucked a farmyard shit house. And I'm sick of your smell. I'm sick of it! I'm sick of it, you goddamned drunk. You goddamned no-account, son-of-a-bitch-bastard liar! That's what you are! You're a goddamned drunken, horse-shitting, short, shit liar. A liar!

    Thomas Wake: Ye have a way with words, Tommy.
