I'll take Ben Wheatley in horror-mode over this guy any day.

when the two actors started autocritiquing the movie via each other's performances {You're a PARODY of an old salt!) i lost all hope
basically a Corman movie with drunken comedy and Prometheus baggage; nice-looking tho

Dafoe really makes Lionel Barrymore look like the king of Bressonian understatement in this

xp it better be a list of pop movies you liked this year or else his point is proven

i think Little Women, Ad Astra, Irishman and Dolemite count on that score

Also, a lot more pop than this movie tbh.

People are suckers for Grand Guignol when it's black and white.

and most successful when it's a comedy (again, the Corman-Price-Lorre films)

This is not a genre of movie https://t.co/pVnlAl3mVk— Shuja Haider (@shujaxhaider) January 28, 2020

yeah I had that argument in 2011 when The Artist wowed too many people ("Silent movies aren't a genre").

I saw this on Valentine's Day - I can't off the top of my head think of a film more likely to put people off sex afterwards.
A lot of weird authenticity when you read around about it - they built the lighthouse, a lot of century-old film lenses, they built the light and the foghorn (and most of the weather is natural) - but in the service of very keyed-up and unnatural performances. Which is great!
The real anachronism is that the song they're singing before they don't kiss was written in the 1980s

weird, given its not that long since this story was given the film treatment
He's been working on this since before the VVitch, I understand - though both Pattinson and Dafoe approached him after that and asked to be in a film of his.

I was a little irked by this bit but I liked the film a lot.
I had heard it was a remake of The Lighthouse Keepers (1929) but apparently not?

Would like to see this with subtitles someday because I think I missed a bunch, or a script to appreciate all the sea dog talk.

Getting excited for The Northman, and wondering if Eggers will ever make a film not titled "The ___"

I fell asleep to this just as old mate was killing a seagull about a year ago. Figure nothing important would happen after that moment so haven’t turned it back on

(It’s kind of a funny idea the movie ending there as if nothing else happen and I haven’t been willing to ruin that illusion yet)
