When a furious storm keeps them stranded, they pass the time by drinking, fighting, and dancing. Eventually, when the drink runs out, they imbibe turpentine mixed with honey and plunge into hallucinatory mix of dread and despair. A captivating blend of dark comedy and psychological horror, The Lighthouse is teeming with literary influences and provocative symbolism. It has earned an Oscar nomination for its black-and-white cinematography, along with acclaim for its gripping filmmaking and powerhouse lead performances.MA | 109 mins | 2019Doors will open for entry 30 minutes prior to the advertised start time.
