I actually read up on it after because it had the feeling it was an adaption from a novel or something. Which it was apparently. But I think everyone knows what I mean that has read a book and then seem the movie. Those are the ??? Parts of the movie. The film felt like that and a play, not a movie. It tried to get its charm from the cinematography and the soundtrack but you can only hear a fog horn so many times before it is just background noise. I can see how some people would like it for those traits but most movie goers aren't like that. Was waiting for the final scene to tie everything together but didn't happen. So for me the lighthouse crashed on the rocks.
