Lighthouse

A hushed, hypnotic drift through still spaces and repeated gestures, more like watching light move across a wall than following a story.

Directed by

Eeva-Riitta Eerola, Jenni Toikka

Starring

Florian Spitzer, Constance Labbé

Overview

We see the timeless figure of a reading woman by the pool side. The camera pans slowly past smooth white walls, warm wooden doors, onto the edge of the paved area, where the woman now sits, yet again. We are back in the first frame of the film. The man standing close by turns to face her, and frames the woman into an imaginary image, seated there, on the boundary between the built environment and the woods. She appears merely a visitor now, a fleeting presence by the pool side, whereas the reading figure radiated a calm sense of belonging.

How it feels
