arr it be The Lighthouse (Eggers, 2019) - Pattinson, Dafoe, sea shanties

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.

nice-looking tho

nice-sounding too

Hell yeah we are xp

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

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

So what tho

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.

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

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?

Feeling smug about catching the Sascha Schneider influence.

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 ___"

Cool.

saw this, enjoyed everything. looked amazing and the two lads were game.

surprised nobody made a pattinson/day lewis link, i think he was blatantly lifting entire elements tbh

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)
