THE LIGHTHOUSE

I bought this ages ago on bluray as it seemed quite interesting (I tend to buy movies and then leave them on the shelf for a couple of years before getting round to watching them). I finally watched the movie when it came up on Amazon Prime - fantastic visuals, an errie atmosphere and great acting. I was so impressed I bought the movie again in 4k (which no doubt will sit unwatched on the shelf for a couple more years!)

This is nothing at all like Fast and Furious 7, despite what the marketing would have you believe.

very atmospheric

Excellent and compelling!

Arrow’s new edition of Robert Eggers’ mysterious story of two men slowly becoming dangerous to each other on a remote lighthouse provides a great new shined up version of the film for fans. Picture quality is excellent, and you quickly adjust to the specific picture ratio chosen for the film. The film itself is one to be seen and decided upon for one’s self as there are several ways to view it. The extras included are very solid, there are two commentaries. One by Robert Eggers and one by others although neither are outstanding unfortunately, but there is a 71 minute multi-part new making of documentary, plus a 20 minute video essay by Kat Ellinger and a 37 minute documentary featuring the cast and crew covering the films production and themes. Then there’s some deleted scenes (just a couple), trailers and photo gallery plus in the original release, some art cards, a double sided art poster and a booklet with essays etc on the film. Fairly good value overall just lacking a perfect score due to the disappointing commentaries.

Psheeewwww

Be aware this is strange, claustrophobic and dark. Great film!!!

This money is so bizarre and great that it is now one of my favourite films. Just make sure you like my lobster.
