What to expect
The near-square frame and textured monochrome trap faces, machinery, and sea within the same pressure chamber. Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson turn labour and storytelling into a contest over authority and reality.
How to ease in
You do not need to decide which visions are literal. Follow the work rules, the locked light, and the changes in who controls food, drink, and speech.
Heads-up
Two lighthouse keepers, one isolated post, and a hierarchy that begins to warp under weather, drink, and desire.
I can almost smell the room by the time the stories stop agreeing. The light promises transcendence, but every climb toward it makes the human arrangement below more unbearable.
