The story of two lighthouse keepers, getting drunk everyday and gradually losing their minds.

Although I enjoyed the suspenseful atmosphere, created by the music, the black and white choice plus the exceptional acting, the story leads nowhere.

I got bored after one hour of watching carefully for plot details.

There was no payoff, only some randomly placed clips of the protagonists past.

One could talk about parallelism, heaven and hell related plot points etc, but that's like talking about a blank - modern art canvas trying to describe it, as if it was a masterpiece.

A short film with the same actors, showing how the lighthouse condition affects the keepers mentality, driving them insane with the same climax, would work way better for me.
